India has successfully tested a Nirbhay cruise missile




Details of the missile tests are not given, it is known that the launch was conducted from the Chandipur test site in the state of Orissa in eastern India. After takeoff, the rocket was in the air for a total of 42 minutes and 23 seconds. Tracking the flight of the rocket was carried out using ground-based radars, and the remaining parameters were monitored by telemetry stations.

India’s Nirbhay (Fearless) rocket tests from the 2013 of the year, however, only the previous launch, which took place in early November of the 2017 of the year, was deemed successful, the other three failed, after which the rocket changed the engine. Launched on November 7 2017, the rocket was in the air for a total of 50 minutes, flying 647 kilometers.

The Nirbhay subsonic cruise missile is being developed for various types of warheads, including nuclear ones, and should hit targets at a distance of 1000 - 1500 km. The rocket is capable of flying at a speed of Mach 0.7 at an altitude of 100 meters. According to Indian media, Nirbhay is being created in response to Pakistan’s development of the Hatf VII Babur cruise missile.

    Hindus are surprising! My colleague, who is familiar with the level of industrial development in India, estimates it at 4+, if not for Indian indifference, and not a mess, then they would not be able to catch up with anyone ... like China, however.

      Surprise with what? The fact that if you work then you can achieve something? Here is the news so the news.

        Oops!
        The Americans treat China to agree to sign the INF Treaty and liquidate cruise missiles with a range of 500 km and above, and, like, then they will re-sign the treaty, this time a trilateral Russia-China-USA.
        And such a gift!
        And then the rest of the country will catch up.
        You don’t even have to advertise S-400.

          Americans adore China

          Yes, they are not courting anyone. For them, this contract fulfilled its purpose, and is no longer needed. By the way, very few people with these same RDSM can really threaten that.

            Soon you will not surprise anyone in the world with long-range cruise missiles

            While the advantage remains powerful advanced air defense / missile defense and hypersound

        Interestingly, among programmers there are such internal memes as "hindu code"(something incomprehensible, and the hell knows it, but somehow it works, although you can't do that), and"chinese code"(inelegant, but bestial, simple, albeit voluminous in the number of lines, with a bunch of repetitions / copy-paste). ^ _ ^

        They get paid for the code line by line, judging by the 10th Windows. ETOGES is necessary, to create such a monster.

        About 10 years ago at Microsoft they said: - mediocre, Indians, difficult, - to the Chinese, but if not possible, then to the Russians. In Moscow, they had a department for a thousand people, as now, I don’t know.

        Hindus in the top for software.

        Do not drive. Do you mean Nadella? So he is an exception.
        About Google, it’s not quite an American office.
        In Apple Oracle Facebook - all Americans, more precisely American laughing
        And in the sense of programmers, Indians are always at the bottom of the hierarchy.

    Is there any sense in "subsonic" missiles with the current development of air defense systems? such a colossus, and even a low-speed one, is not a difficult target, even at such an altitude ... or a development only against Pakistan and China in relief?

        And what about "Caliber"? It flies twice as far, with a nuclear warhead of three, and it also has anti-air defense means, and in general there is a whole family of missiles for their intended purpose and use. hi

          Flies twice as far. With a nuclear warhead at three

          Seriously?
          and must hit targets at a distance of 1000 - 1500 km.

          Is that for 3000 - 4500 thousand? Are you confusing anything?
          It also has air defense countermeasures

          Calliber? What napimer?
          In general, there it is already a whole family of missiles for their intended use and application.

          Well, this of course changes everything, and nothing that so far in the hostilities used only analogues of the same axes, about the same as in the picture in the article.

      Okay you hiThat's all. For India it’s all right for what you need. And our and American similar missiles with subsonic speed go to the goal. But how to finish! Here different options are possible.

      The current development of air defense systems does not guarantee a 100% result. A low-flying cruise missile is a difficult target.

        The current development of air defense systems does not guarantee a 100% result

        And which of these two concepts is true? The fact that the current development of means of cruise missiles does not at all guarantee a 100% result Or that
        The current development of air defense systems does not guarantee 100%.

    tomahawk mastered, actually well done,
    although we are talking about copy-paste, Pakistan is no easier for it, well, if there will be mass production, subsonic crs are a mass weapon

    They have a CVO of the order of 0,1 square meters. The goal is not so simple for air defense ...

    Not many countries in the world have developed air defense systems. And if there are more or less new air defense systems, then not in such an amount that can "close" the entire sky. Plus, a low-altitude target isn't an easy target for most countries. There must be a developed air defense system and aviation

    No, namely KVO. Very high accuracy of hitting a target, almost at a peg. And what value of EPR can only be guessed ..
