Nirbhay Cruise Missile Development

[bengalraider]

1400km in about an hour equates to 23.33 km/minute or 388 m/sec, I.e slightly above the speed of sound at 320m/sec, begs the question can this baby supercruise?

Must-know facts about India's cruise missile Nirbhay


Published on Oct 16, 2014

Indian defence scientists have developed a cruise missile - the Nirbhay - was tested for the second time on Friday from Balasore in Odisha. Its first test on March 12 last year, failed with the missile being terminated after launch as it deviated from its flight trajectory.
Here are some must-know points about India's Nirbhay

Guyz, the difference between nirbhay and brhamos is only target distance. right?

Sub Sonic ..Supersonic ..Indegeniously made ..Loitering ..Long Range ..Payload ..and Lot More

Missile got Acceleration

Something wrong in the reports. 300km in 10min = 1800kmph = Mach 1.4

But Nirbhay is subsonic (Mach 0.8).

Great SUCCESS at last. VERY HAPPY TO SEE THINGS MOVING. GOOD DAYS HAVE COME FOR THE DRDO. I HOPE VERY SOON WE WILL HAVE 100% INDIGENOUS CAPABILITY IN DEFENCE.....

Exactly what I pointed out in post #421 above, either that or there's more to nirbhay than what we're being told.

Both Times of India and NDTV report 700km range ... but The Hindu 1,000km, while considering the way points covered, it must be more than 1,000km.
Why the discrepancy?

Keep your adversaries confused, others do it as well. For example we still don't know if the Chinese cj-10 has a range of 1500,2500 or 3000km a decade after it passed IOC.

We cannot average out the speed, as it must be different in launch, boost & terminal phases of the flight. On a whole, it is very much subsonic.

I believe this Nibhay was a canister launch. That is an excellent news.

1100 km is an excellent news.

What about under sea launch. The canister launch is synonymous to under sea launch. Can the canister launch be duplicated into undersea launch. These missiles are to be nuclear tipped and launched from a submarine stationed in North eastern Arabian Sea, so as to cover Sargodha Air base, where Pakistan stores its nuclear missiles and other places like Kahuta, ISI headquarters in Rawalpindi etc.

How many Nirbhays, first edition can be delivered to the armed forces in next two years. Three years are too long. First sixteen missiles should go to the Indian nuclear submarine Airihant.

I am proud today.

B: Range upto 300km
N: Range upto 1500km

B: Speed upto Mach 3
N: Speed upto Mach 0.8

B: Uses RAMJET propulsion
N: Uses Turbojet propulsion

B: Can do steep dives in top attack, also can do kinetic penetration of hardened structures due to velocity
N: Can loiter on target, dispense multiple sub-munitions/warheads

The socialist media is vomiting at this success. The Congressi friendly media outlets are showing disbelief. Nothing else.

Poor defence reporting is on purpose. India has a very long tradition of taking "sweet boxes" from foreigners. Don't expect patriotism from socialist media outlets.

It's not a cannister launch

The test clearly shows a subsonic missile all through its flight range. The rocket is only to clear the launch pad and impart initial velocity.

I think the missile flies at a constant subsonic velocity.
