Latest Brahmos Test, 29th July 2012 - Was a Failure!
Preparations on for Agni-II launch tomorrow
CHENNAI, August 8, 2012 - T. S. Subramanian
BrahMos, Indias supersonic cruise missile, failed in its flight on July 29, 2012. Informed sources said BrahMos developed some problems during its flight and it deviated from its path. It could not travel its full range of 290 km and fell into the Bay of Bengal. A committee has been set up to analyse the telemetry. It is not a serious problem in the system. The failure perhaps had something to do with production, with the indigenisation process, the sources said.
A press release on that day, however, did not mention that BrahMos had failed in its flight. It merely said the 32 flight test of BrahMos took place at 10.30 a.m. from a test range at Chandipur, off the Odisha coast, as part of the development trials. The objective of the mission was to evaluate some of the newer sub-systems which were produced by the Indian industry as part of the product stabilisation, it said. More than 25 such systems were incorporated in the missile.
