India successfully tests Nirbhay cruise missile

[Bhasad Singh Mundi]

Repeated cold testing of every individual component.
Not trying to be a hero by overly complicating the development and an ability to integrate and accept "off the shelf" products where available.

Wah!! Brilliant methodology!!

 

[The Great One]

THe new Indian logic making rounds is. Due to economical reasons. Supersonic wala cost 5 million per piece and this sub sonic wala cause 1-1.5 million per piece

BrahMos range >>> 300 to 600 km.
Nirbhay range >>> 1000 to 1500 km.

 

[Bratva]

This is the world logic, not Indian logic. Even US and dear China has both subsonic and supersonic cruise missiles. Since you cannot comprehend that you should keep your mouth shut.

BrahMos range >>> 300 to 600 km.
Nirbhay range >>> 1000 to 1500 km.

Epic fail is both of you brain dead indians didn't notice the Sarcasm in my post.

Do you understand, in Past indians used to make an argument we don't need sub-sonic missile ? I'm talking about 2005-2008 era when babur first came out and Indians were like we could shot it with our Akash SAM easily ?

Against Pakistan we don't. 300km to 600km range of BrahMos is sufficient.

And if that was what you call sarcasm, then all one can do is

Brahmos does not go anywhere above 300Km.
where did you get 600km figure?

where did you get 600km figure?

it can in HI-HI cong........
Stunning info about Indian's missile projects by Dr.Saraswat

And so we can shoot it. Brahmos is more than enough for Pakistanis. Nirbhay is being built for deeper strikes into China which cannot be reached by Brahmos. Pakistan no longer figures in our R&D programs, their tech is too obsolete for us to worry.

Brahmos does not go anywhere above 300Km.

Another Pakistani specimen. There is a separate thread on this forum itself where Saraswat clearly mentions Brahmos going 600 KM in hi-hi trajectory. Read it before showing your ignorance here.

The only "off the shelf" product that is available in the market for missiles is paint. So yes, in a way you are right.

Another way to look at it, because we are smarter than you ?

It is evident in every field of human endeavor.

In fact it is strange for us that you still try to compare yourself to us. We are in a different league as far as we are concerned.

Pakistan still can't do what we achieved in the 1970s and 1980s.

Musharraf has himself admitted in his book about how the North Korean (and Chinese) missiles were repainted and rebranded. Anyway, I have no interest frankly in any Indo-Pak comparison on any issue. You are now firmly part of Af-Pak, the land of all your heroes.

Did you really get taken in by that 'kahaani'?
That figure was neatly meant for the MTCR....actually it was perfectly declared as 290 KM not even 300KM

It has to really follow a very sub-optimal trajectory (and have an excessively heavy warhead) to hit the 290 KM range.

Exactly and it is a Private enterprise not government and the missile is meant for export market so the figures of 290-300 Km look perfectly legit.

 

[Vinod2070]

A missile can have a range of "ranges" depending on the warhead weight and the trajectory chosen.

290 KM is "a range", not the maximum range.

That is impossible to put this seeker in to Nirbhay as it is

To give you an idea, the seeker that is in Tomahwak, it consists of a Microprocessor and an Antenna.

That's the level of miniaturization you are looking for if you want to put seeker in to Nirbhay.

And I would put 2-3 years, it would take miniaturize the 50 KG seeker

Plus Also the enigne I'm hearing they used is Russian and Indian turbofan is not yet ready ?

Untrue. You are judging the book by its picture.

The Agat 9E420 monopulse semiactive radar on board the Buk missile measures 310mm in diameter and weighs 32-kg, it is perfectly proportionate for the 690kg missile, judging accordingly a 50kg monopulse radar on board the 1000kg Nirbhay is safe to say fairly miniaturised.
Regardless of how miniaturised the seeker onboard Tomahawk is, it'll still have the antenna around the same size as the one in the pic I posted earlier.
Now if you were talking about a camera based IR seeker, no Nirbhay doesn't have it yet and yes it would definitely be far lighter than a monopulse radar.

Earlier there was a report of a turbofan engine that is developed for Nirbhay.

Until further updates we don't really know if this engine is being used in Nirbhay or a Russian one.

 

[The Deterrent]

That is correct.

Pakistan always conducts all its missile tests over its cities. They are sure of the test's success on all parameters.

Wonder why?

Do you even know where our test range is?
