Engine for nirbhay comes from Russia
So does the guide fe system
Sir, I cannot comment definitively upon the Babur system but your information regarding Nirbhay is incorrect.
Above is the image of the engine module of the Nirbhay cruise missile which has been developed by the Bengaluru-based Engine Test Bed Research & Development Centre (ETBRDC).
As far as the guidance systems are concerned, they too have been developed and produced in-country. I can provide the data-sheets and pictures for the same. I'll have to dig up my files for them failing which I will have to depend upon Prasun Sengupta's presentation on the system (which is one of the surprisingly accurate ones). The singular analyst who claimed that the engines were provided by NPO in Russia is Ajai Shukla and this was the same man who was convinced that the Nirbhay would be akin to a missile simulating drone and his analysis was based on his assumption that the Nirbhay would be based on the Lakshay PTA- his assumptions and analysis have been debunked multiple times by official statements from DRDO, MOD and other analysts.
The range increase on the Babur is speculative at the moment, let us wait for a test otherwise it would be akin to me stating that certain Chinese analysts were cent percent accurate in claiming that the A-5 has a range of 8000km. Documented tests are required otherwise there is no conclusive information. If any increased-range tests have occurred and you are aware of them then please post the relevant articles/pics/videos.
As far as the CM-400AKG is concerned, it is not hyper-sonic :-
It is yet to be operational with the PAF while our armed forces have already modified the guidance programming of the Brahmos system and are currently inducting its 3rd iteration. To compare the two without advance deployments and PAF carrier vehicles extensively testing and inducting the CM-400 would be akin to me stating that the our under-construction scorpene submarines are out to sink PN's Agostas.
Please clarify your facts before posting.
