we are in testing phase since 1947. there is no time for testing ,pakis have gone ahead with drones and cruise missile just by painting in green the foreign maal. who is stopping india for that


can u name anything which DRDO made successfully

nag-fail
trishul-fail
nirbhay-fail
arjun-fail
roustom-fail


DRDO should be dismantle. the budget DRDO had given since inception for R&D,with that same budget India would have bought tanks and cruise missile from foreign countries
:biggrin2::biggrin2:
which made these missiles in first attempt ???

3rd-time unlucky Nirbhay to try luck once more

BHUBANESWAR: Even as the probe report on the fiasco during last trial of homegrown subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay is yet to be submitted formally, the DRDO has planned to go for a fresh test of the weapon system from a defence test facility off Odisha coast.
More than a decade into its development, India is yet to achieve a milestone in Nirbhay project. Of three tests of the long-range all-weather cruise missile so far, two have failed miserably exposing the technological deficiencies to develop a cruise missile on its own.
While the missile was to be terminated mid-way during its maiden test on March 12, 2013, during its third test on October 16 last year, the missile veered off the intended trajectory due to some technical snags in the sub systems.
The second test of the missile on October 17, 2014 could not be declared a roaring success as the weapon was seen struggling in flight and symptoms of engine coughing were also noticed.
Defence sources said though India is yet to have its own technology to develop any supersonic or hypersonic cruise missile, Nirbhay is the first system developed by the DRDO with subsonic speed.
Since the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) prohibits the signatories from providing technology to any other country developing a cruise missile with a range greater than or equal to 300 km, Indo-Russian joint venture BrahMos supersonic cruise missile has a strike range of 290 km.
Sources said the inquiry committee, led by National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) Director Shyam Chetty and set up to probe the last October 16 failure, has not submitted its report even six months after the incident.
DRDO scientists associated with the mission, however, claimed that faults in the system have been rectified and the system will be ready for test after final check-ups. "If the system gets ready, the missile will be launched in June. If it fails to get clearance now, the trial will be conducted in October," the sources said.
The missile, which can be compared with America’s Tomahawk missile, will be fired from the launching complex-III of the Integrated Test Range (ITR). The cruise missile having a strike range of around 750 km to 1,000 km is expected to supplement the BrahMos. The two-stage missile has a length of six meters, diameter of 0.52 m, wing span 2.7 m and a launch weight of about 1,500 kg. While the Bengaluru-based Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) has designed the missile, it has been developed by Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) of DRDO.

Friends, Any further development on Nirbhay missile front. No news since long.
If insider and inside news is to believe, ground testing for indigenous turbo fan engine has been completed and work is under way for its integration. Hopefully license building of TRDD-50MT could also be carried out now as India has formally joined MTCR.
But nothing is out in public till now. So all are in speculation mode only.

So, now indigenous engine's flight testing would be done ? Any input on that ??

None as of now......... Last I heard about it, integration is under way and after that there are series of dry test run to be performed before any actual launch.
But considering the last two failures, no one is probably hurrying on to anything and nothing is available in public. Moreover I think India would consider license building of TRDD-50MT if there is any failure. This we would know for sure. As of now no negotiation for that is taking place in between India and Russia.
