What's new

Second test of Nirbhay cruise missile in February

Congrats. Now I will get a lobotomy and vote for Rahul Gandhi. :yay:

PS - Without an invasive brain destroying surgery there is no way I am voting for him..so.... :ashamed:

**** NO......I would never vote for puppy (read pappu),even if someone holds me to gun point.

TRISHUL: Nirbhay Cruise Missile Family Finally Revealed!

???

Make sure you do something else cool with it.
This is powered by a cruise missile engine:
 
Good news. Range must be greater than 1000 KM.

Prasun claims 1,200 km. He also says this missile will be carried by Su-30MKIs as well as being submarine-launched
and land-based. He also pointed at a smaller, 750 km version that will be carried by Jaguar DARIN-3 and Rafale MMRCA.

So 4 different versions.

Great news if true. We really need to induct it in next 2-3 years which seems to be very much possible especially land based and sub launched versions.
 
Here are 10 must-know points about India’s Nirbhay:
  1. It is a sub-sonic cruise missile. It blasts off like a rocket, but then unlike a missile, it turns into an aircraft. Unlike other ballistic missiles like the Agni,Nirbhay has wings and pronounced tail fins.
  2. In early flight after launch, the rocket motor falls off and the small wings get deployed.
  3. At this point a gas turbine engine kicks in and it becomes like a full aircraft, explains P S Krishnan, Director, Aeronautical Development Establishment, Bangalore.
  4. The Nirbhay is very maneuverable and can fly at tree-top level making it difficult to detect on radar.
  5. Once near the target, it can even hover, striking at will from any direction.
  6. It can strike targets more than 700 km away carrying nuclear warheads, giving India the capability to strike deep into enemy territory.
  7. It gives India the capacity to launch different kinds of payloads at different ranges from various platforms at a very low cost. It can be launched from a mobile launcher.
  8. The missile has a fire-and-forget system that cannot be jammed.
  9. It is India’s answer to America’s Tomahawk and Pakistan’s Babur. The US had deployed cruise missiles very effectively during the Gulf War.
  10. India has made tactical missiles of different capacity, but had made a cruise missile. DRDO scientists, including several women, worked very hard on theNirbhay.

11.Everyone knows those.
 
Can cruise missiles be nuclear capable??? Just an honest question???
