of all the pre-budget defense acquisition related news that has come so far, i hope this one comes true. ======= Nirbhay class long-range cruise missiles to be part in all three defence forces' arsenal...

STFE program will work, it’s just a matter of time. Now we even have private players to manufacture small engines domestically.

IA or IAF have to ask for such a missile first, anyways the list of current developmental projects are already listed, if such a requirement is not on the list, it won't happen in medium term.

Here’s a silly idea.. DRDO can create a rig to carry a nirbhay in a C-130, without the Manik engine, with provide auxiliary power to support the other sub-systems, add diagnostic equipment to the rig itself, calibrate the missile to the speed of C-130, and follow the trajectory. Check...

No point speculating, ITCM project is bound to be successful some day. Hopefully sooner than later.

there is a whole lot of difference between 8 mins and a few seconds.. ;) Anyways law of averages was bound to catch up, after the string of successes over the past month. On the bright side, atleast the Manik engine moved ahead in it’s testing phase.

And Godrej had started delivering the order for 100 Brahmos ALCM airframes in aug 2018...

Poor quality of fabricated components cited as a cause for wing malfunction of Nirbhay Missile which was the main cause of the failure https://www.facebook.com/TeamINDRA/posts/854233774718308:0&width=500 if i am not wrong, 2013 test also failed because of similar reason.

I am beginning to think after looking at the comments after almost every failure, that DRDO is caught between their need to justify their existence and pressure of being India's only premier defence research agency.

Don't think this is a mechanical failure. It's better they put off next year's test, and rewrite the code from scratch. But this time add a component of simulator tests in all sub-components. Similar to what ADA guys did to Tejas, they had built a whole test rig only for simulator tests to...
