Brahmos and Nirbhay Cruise Missiles : News, Updates and Discussions
- Thread starter Manmohan_MMY
- Start date
It was actually an accidental firing. The missile flew a predetermined course which was fed into it without the target co-ordinates and did not have the warhead. This missile can't miss its target as during tests it has never failed.
However some missiles do have predetermined flight track data fed to be upgraded with target co-ordinates just before firing as this missile is designed to hit targets which have been moved from their location recently and also to be upgaraded with the newest location of a target not just before launch but also during its flight to the target.

So the News is True or Just another
Drama to get international approval and appreciation
New order of Brahmos surface to surface missile , most likely extended range ones, by MoD
Brahmos in African def expo, those pics on ships are top. Both VLS and slightly canted one probably NG version?

If it is true then excellent news. Brahmos NG to be ready for trials in 2 months.
Range of air launched BrahMos now over 500 KMs In all trials, BrahMos has hit with an accuracy of less than 10 metres.
The land-launched BrahMos has a range of about 400 kilometres and work is also to on increase its range to 800 and 1,500-km.
Very unlikely. Last update from new chairman said it's still in design stage.

Yeah I remember that, and this new NG trial is possibly Brahmos own trial of sub systems, not user dev trial of which videos we usually see.
The news did rounds for a day though I could not find exact source. Most likely someone from the company let it slip during the Africa expo about prelim trials being done by end of year or early 2023.
The other things is its weight, seen both 1.2T & 1.5T figures. Tejas can carry 1.2T max in its center pylon , so how will it carry if Ng is 1.5 ton? extra strengthening of pylon?

Hmm that longer range brahmos talk is gathering pace, but I can not find the original source from where it got leaked.
A 1000km range missile would need an immaculate seeker at such speed.
Does this indicate the ramjet tech is maturing fast? Would help if we get to know whether the ramjet is bought from Rus or not.

Brahmos launcher + Nirbhay
Nirbhay spec chart
As we can see from the previous post above, the two new programs based on Nirbhay project are probably LR-LACM & ITCM.
Not sure if ET-LRLACM which neutronx hinted might be a hypersonic weapon is same project or not. ET is Endo-thermic Long range LACM.
I would guess both these programs are subsonic cruise missiles?
Notice the private companies involved in the project.
Another thing, hypersonic project was top listed in one of the list published before by RMO, I forgot what list it was but as project this is definitely given priority. Given we saw HSTDV is tech demo, so similar multiple projects can/will offshoot from it which will also include many things learned from ITCM Nirbhay projects. So we are going in right path project wise.
The only other thing I am waiting for is the BMD, AAD project.

ITCM-TD is to certify manik engine, it will not enter production.Nirbhay spec chart
