Also shaurya is becoming testbed for long range hypersonic glide vehicle called Pralay.

Prithvi 1 is decommissioned and Prithvi 2 is operational. P2 replaced P! more than 15 years ago.

Lol thats the point, paki military is an extension of Chinese one. Tell me one country that gets an airforce for free which is what pak got from China and US.

To me QBM like pralay is more important as it cannot be intercepted and can be built by 100s to strike paki and chinese installations. DRDO must deploy Pralay by 2019.

Lack of accountability is not only DRDO problem. It affects all branches of government and infact national life. Did anyone haul up Senior Generals for their disastrous command failures Kargil onwards, what about bureaucrats who fail to buy stuff in time because it is not lowest price vendor so...

The problem with terrain hugging feature of subsonic missile is the enormous complexity in control mechanism which also has to be robust enough to be mass produced. The Pakistanis typically lie as Babur has mostly been tested in 300-500km window which means its range is miniscule. Comparing...

Firstly I would not blame DRDO for this. Tomohawks have been miserable failures in every conflict including Serbia, Libya Afghanistan with several dozen missing their mark. A much better way to strike conventionally is quasi ballistic missile, that is a missile which takes a ballistic...

The Pentagon's own report on Tomohawk which is the best sub sonic cruise missile in the world recommended that it be shelved for precisely its terrain hugging feature. This makes it very susceptible to winds and therefore inaccurate. Pentagon infact is going for cruise cum quasi ballistic...

Is Nirbhay even needed. Subsonic missile is too useless to carry nuclear weapons. For conventional cum nuclear tactical attacks at 1500km we can build an extended version of Shaurya.

Hemant Rout is most reliable reporter on missile tests. He had also reported that Feb 16 Prithvi 2 missile test failed to reach desired accuracy (although missile dropped its warhead)

This is very shocking. Nirbhay is very crucial for us for conventional long range strikes although am not sure about utility of sub sonic cruise missiles for nuclear delivery. Cold start will be incomplete without Nirbhay
