After Agni-V, 1,000 km cruise missile Nirbhay on test bed

Yup, with 0.7-0.9 mach speed, it's a terrain hugging missile, so there's stealth characteristics in this missile.

Read a Pakistani poster claiming that A5 is not stealthy - beats me why a missile reaching mach 24 speeds needs stealth, hope nirbhay is painted in dark green colors - i assume that color is supposedly stealth.

LOL I didn't ask him that, but can hazard a guess, he would have said Shaheen II in stealth colors, it was white before, the new tech also comes with stealth colors - presumably that's why better than A5

So their radar works on visual range of the radio frequency, no wonder they missed US helicopters used in OBL raids coz' of darkness.

I laughed my stomach out ....

ontopic : why are most specs(which we know of) 0f the missile still in guess phase ? How come no one knows much about the specific technical details ?

Glad i made you laugh.

On topic: Its in strategic interest to keep things secret, they wont even disclose the exact amount the propellant used in the missile, coz' one can have a crude idea about it's range.
