India test-fires its first cruise missile, Nirbhay

Balasore, Odisha: India today test-fired its first cruise missile, named Nirbhay. The development trial of this indigenously developed sub-sonic cruise missile took place from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur near in Balasore district in Odisha.

The missile, under development since 2007, has a range of 1,000 km.

Though India has the technology of supersonic missiles like BrahMos jointly developed by India and Russia, Nirbhay with a medium range is a different kind of missile being developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment, a Defence Research and Development Organisation laboratory based at Bangalore.

Nirbhay has good loitering capability, control and guidance, a high degree of accuracy in terms of impact and very good stealth features, ITR sources said.

The district administration had arranged for temporary evacuation of 453 families comprising 2586 adults and 698 children residing within a two km radius of Launch Pad-3 at the ITR to shelters nearby during the test-fire as a safety measure, a district revenue officer said.

The families would be compensated for the temporary evacuation, he said.

India on Tuesday successfully test fired cruise missile Nirbhay from the Interim Test Range (ITR) in Chandipur in Odisha. Nirbhay, which has a range of 1000 km, was fired at 11:55 am from a mobile launcher and hit a pre-designed target set in the sea. The two-stage sub sonic missile can travel at a speed of 0.7 Mach.

Though India has the technology of supersonic missiles like BrahMos jointly developed by India and Russia, Nirbhay with a medium range is a different kind of missile being developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment, a Defence Research and Development Organisation laboratory based at Bangalore.
