Here's an exclusive video footage of last year's maiden launch of Nirbhay, India’s first subsonic cruise missile, which had to be terminated after 20-minutes into its mission. Nirbhay had travelled almost 250 km towards the target after the launch, but a technical snag dented its designated flight path. Capabilities like the lift-off from the canister, the booster separation, ignition of cruise vehicle engine at high altitude, wing deployment, control guidance and way-point navigation were proven during the launch.
The video is of 2:37 minutes and till 1 minute the launch frames have been captured by various ground-based cameras. The remaining part has been shot from a Sukhoi (Su-30 MKI), which flew parallel to the missile.
As DRDO scientists gear up for the next launch (on October 17, 2014) of Nirbhay -- India's first 'Made-in-Bangalore Missile' -- this video sourced after 'lots of effort' should inspire many, considering some of the first-time technologies our scientists could prove. This footage was first shown to a select audience during DefExpo in Delhi this year.
Gratitude to sources, who have time and again reposed faith in Tarmak007. This video will be truly a treat to all the devotees of India's aerospace and defence might.
Best wishes to Team DRDO for Nirbhay's second launch!
 
Good to watch. All the best to DRDO for the pending launch
 
I think they detoriated the image quality . . Still fair enough..

Su 30 chase sortie itself will be more expensive than any HD camera.. So quality is intentionally reduced for us..
 
cool....can any1 tell me why did the maiden launch fail for Nirbhay?
 
Can somebody shed some light on the guidance system? Also i believe it can loiter over targets is this true. If all goes well, we'll be needing to induct least 1000 of these.
 
This is russian engine used in this lauch or DRDO own made in india.
i read some where that drdo got 8 engine from russia .

DRDO is going to make turbojet engine in 2025 and then india will mass produce the nirbhay and extend the range to 3000 km in 2045 with air launch version :o:

First make the fcuking heart of the missile ie engine ,body anybody can make .:hitwall:
