Nirbhay Cruise Missile Pictures

Wait the missile shown on documentary neither had a red head nor had any IAF markings on it, either the documentary is historic or it is not that missile.

because the video is shot in mainland. Hint is the Rustam UAV shown in the back ground.

I think video is old and it is shooted in Bangalore

The NIRBHAY sign looks different on the crashed debris compared to the NIRBHAY written on the missile!!! so the debris is fake ,it could have fallen in the sea!!!


NDTV :

As the missile veered off its flight trajectory after traveling about 250 km, its engine was cut off to bring it down to ensure coastal safety. Its debris was later found on land in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur district by villagers;

you mean this

actually time gap between the Bangalore video and at ITR is large, they must have repainted the missile.

this is final paint job.

one thing is for sure that they have not tested the missile in straight line it was moving like plane or aircraft, when it was going for coast they found it threat they detonate it.

 

[Bheeshma]

They did not detonate it they simply cut off the engine. No problem always better to sort out issues right at the beginning itself. Next few tests will prove its mettle.

Check the wing

Check the wing

Exactly... !

India terminates testfiring of home-made sub-sonic Nirbhay cruise missile midway -- Shanghai Daily | 上海日报 -- English Window to China New

India terminates testfiring of home-made sub-sonic Nirbhay cruise missile midway

NEW DELHI, March 12 (Xinhua) -- India on Tuesday terminated midway the testfiring of its home-made long-range sub-sonic cruise missile Nirbhay, launched off the coast of the eastern state of Odisha, after it deviated from its flight path, a top official said.

"Nirbhay (Fearless) was successfully launched today at 11.50 a. m. from launch complex at Chandipur off the coast of Odisha, meeting the basic mission objectives successfully," said Ravi Gupta, the spokesperson for the state-owned Defense Research and Development Organization, which developed the missile.

He added, "After traveling approximately midway, deviations were observed from its intended course. Further, flight was terminated to ensure coastal safety."

Nirbhay has a strike-range of around 1,500 km. The surface-to- surface cruise missile, with "loitering capability", has the capability of being launched from land, sea and air, and could go over and around the hills undetected.

DRDO draws inspiration from aborted Nirbhay mission | Next launch in 8 months: Avinash | Intentionally missile flown closer to coast for tracking: Sources

Bangalore: Nirbhay, India's first subsonic cruise missile had a bad outing on Tuesday, after scientists terminated its maiden test-firing 20-minutes into its mission. Celebrated as Bangalore's first missile, Nirbhay travelled almost 250 km towards the target after the launch, but a technical snag dented its designated flight path, forcing the Range Safety Wing at the Interim Test Range (ITR) in Balasore to abort the mission. (Termination or abortion is done by switching off the engine.)
Designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) in C V Raman Nagar, Nirbhay's failure is now being dubbed as 'partial success' by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). "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 capabilities have been proven. For a missile designers these are crucial milestones achieved," Avinash Chander, Chief Controller (Missiles and Strategic Systems), DRDO told Express from Bhuvaneshwar.
He claimed that for a first flight, the objectives achieved are encouraging. "We were able to launch it as a missile first, then convert show its longevity as an aircraft. We will study what went wrong and get back with another missile within six-eight months so as to go the full distance. We have enough data from this flight and we have tested all stages of the missile, which was very crucial," Avinash said.
A top source who didn't want to be identified said that the missile was travelling closer to the Odhisa cost. "We intentionally designated the path closer to the coast so that we could track it. But when it started deviating, we had to abort the mission taking into account the safety of the coast. It will take a week to assess which part malfunctioned and the initial data analysis will tell us more," the official said.
ADE Director P S Krishnan said that his team will ensure that everything falls in place next time. "Nirbhay met 90 per cent of its mission parameters. It was the first test and we will quickly find out from the data which part gave up. We will fix it and prove the missile's full-duration (1000 km) capabilities," Krishnan said.
DRDO's decision to go undercover till the launch of the missile is attributed mainly to the snub it received for letting out too many details of sensitive projects. A senior military intelligence official said that DRDO was warned twice in the recent past, a fact Express couldn't verify independently.Copyright@The New Indian Express

That Tel is not TATRA nor TATA...

I think it's a MAN or a SCANIA!
anyhoo there are only two possibe things that failed either the geopositioning guidance module that receives real time updates failed to get and properly analyse those updates or the servo motors that use those geopositional updates to control the fins and rudders to guide the missile failed to work properly, should be sorted in a a couple of months!

It is interesting to see the change in CG with and without the booster.

It is interesting to see the change in CG with and without the booster.

center of gravity of missile is good. I think it is within the wing area.
