Agree. But. It is totally unacceptable that after one failure of the Nirbhay/ITCM, the next test takes almost a year(min) or more to be conducted. At least retesting an ICBM with above 12000 km range is an complex task and some amount of delay is justified. Now we are focusing on the testing...

The situation has changed now As @Indx TechStyle enunciated we are moving ahead with the full range of anti ship missiles. Short, Medium and Long range. I anticipate first flight tests of the system within 2 years. Maybe less. First target maybe an simulated electronic target( without warhead)...
