to it for better comprehension by you.I believe the Phillipines export order is our first. Even though it's for 2 regiment only.
Lol. Many noob people even seriously believe such statements trust meNext time I post such views, I'd make sure to add a
You forget that the Nirbhay will be much cheaper than Brahmos. And it has other uses.
That's fine. I guess the greatest interest will be for the Brahmos-M since its bigger cousin is a bit too expensive for most countries outside small numbers. Also the fact that it will be MTCR restricted.
Flew 150 km, is it a miss reporting on range? Or another failure from Nirbhay
Looks like ITCM test is a complete or partial failure. No other reason to not give a press release.
The least performing lab of DRDO, ADE is adamant to keep its reputation.

The missile was fired just prior to 10 am and remained airborne for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 100 km. As per DRDO sources, while the indigenous engine tested successfully, the delivery platform encountered a technical hitch.

DRDO tests Nirbhay missile, indigenous engine a success: What you need to know about India's subsonic missile
The last test of the subsonic missile was carried out in October 2020 when the trial had to be aborted after just eight minutes.
ASN4G will have a range of 1000 KM from what I hear and it will have speed of 6-8 mach. Basically a SCRAMJET propelled weapon.
MBDA and France surely has a total mastery of RAMJET propulsion.

Neither does Brahmos.
Both use kerosene in RAM-Jet for propulsion and suck oxygen from atmosphere as oxidizer. ASMP has inlet on its sides, Brahmos has inlet in its nose-cone. So its not that difference. Both also use a rocket cartridge to bring it up to speed to fire up its RAM-Jet.
Why is ASMP is so much more compact and lightweight is a mystery to me. Maybe MBDA knows something that rest of the world does not about making RAM-jets.
For comparison, P-800 Oniks from Russia and YJ-12 from China are both heave weapon. The closest weapon in its weight class is Kh-31 from Russia, but that is just having a range less than 130KM and a warhead capacity of less than 100 KG.

So its failed again, i dont beleive the media reports like we already inducted this missile with forces.The missile was fired just prior to 10 am and remained airborne for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 100 km. As per DRDO sources, while the indigenous engine tested successfully, the delivery platform encountered a technical hitch.

Indranil mentioned somewhere in Twitter.. We have around 20-30 nibhaya frames made as a batch.
Just a speculation I guess. I do respect him,but he behaves like a an indigenous item fan boy most of the time. May be an attempt to boost homegrown equipment reputation or a deliberate attempt to stir confusion among enemies on our capabilities.
Logically no military will induct a complex platform like cruise missile which had encountered more than 60 percentage failure rate during developmental trials.
What I feel is that we should scrap Nirbhay program altogether and we should approach Russians or US for help. Being a member of MTCR technically these countries can sell their long range missiles to India, we have spend hell lot of time on developing this missile without any success.
Just 3 successful tests out of 7 before the deployment news came. U still beleive that news about deployment? Also not tested for full range in last successful test too.
FYI the brand new failure of yesterday is due to missile proble asper that link,not on engine. It says missile is having glitches still.
Details are not provided. Many times in integrating new components, neither component in itself are faulty but integration is not correct. Any engineering student knows, integration is the hardest problem there.
User doesn't care about those things,they don't need to.what user is required is credible, reasonably reliable product. Nirbhay & the word reliable didn't go together till today. And there is no any official statement from military on Nirbhay deployment,what we have is some fanboys statements/reporting/tube videos.
If you want to be really honest, you don't know what was tested and what was achieved or what failed. There are always "un-named sources" used by media. You don't even know if this was Nirbhay or something totally different. All that was there was some reporting in media. There is no official word of test besides perhaps NOTAM.
The first part is always true for each and every missile we tests,none failed the way Nirbhay did. This itself shows how pathetic is it's development.
I said about induction & deploymen, if I am not wrong military used to accept induction of new platform,like what they did with Astra or Akash.
