Sorry to. Burst your bubble but nirbhay flies over sea because currently it's taking her baby steps and just the autopilot and stability algorithm and ability to follow way points while taking GPS or satellite guidance are being tested.Nirbhay is termed as subsonic cruise missiles. It is being currently developed for multiple uses. Just like BrahMos. The main missile test facility is in Chandipur. Hence the tests over sea. It is being deployed for as of date attack on land. Or anti-ship which would mean changes in terminal guidance.
Now, I ask you again, show me one test of either r'aad or babur over sea under 20 mts.
Actually tomahawk is yesteryear's technology, and we are struggling with it (2 failiure out of 3). US has developed much more deadly agm 129 & agm 86 for their airforces. Now I am start believing pak's claim of brahmos is actually a Russian missile with Indian paint job.

First show us the sea in the pic? if it was launched from land, flew over land and fell down on land, where does the sea come in?
Read the context of the reply. He asked why over sea. I said thats the test range.
You do realise, the test range is over sea and there was a problem in navigation right? You also do realise this test was conducted for checking the change in trajectory from a higher altitude to 20 mts? You also do realise, that a navigation error can lead to a crash post deviation? Of course, you knew all this already.

Flight of Nirbhay Missile Aborted after 700 Seconds of Launch Nirbhay Long Range Subsonic tactical cruise Missile was launched from Integrated Test Range. Chandipur at 11:38 hrs today.
All initial critical operations such as Booster ignition, Booster separation. Wing deployment and engine start were successfully executed and Nirbhay reached the desired Cruise Altitude.
During 700 seconds of flight all the subsystems of Nirbhay cruise Missile functioned satisfactorily and met all the desired functions.
The mission was aborted after 700 seconds of flight.
Why would I show you babur or Raád flying over sea when they are specifically developed for Land attack roles, not for sea based operations ? Is major airforce bases of IAF located near sea that we need sea based Babur in land attack mode ?
This is where the major fault lies. Instead of focusing on perfecting Land attack mode, you are spreading and dividing your resources on what, Land and sea simultaneously
And no Nirbhay is not being developed as Anti ship missile.
@surya kiran
Why do you propose that Babur & Ra'ad are not cleared for flight paths over water? What "technological" limitation is there, in your opinion?
It is precisely this kind of language that holds India back!

I believe scene matching would be difficult but both missile equipped with GPS / inertial navigation system so there is no problem at all.@surya kiran

Since your own DRDO is so forthcoming about everything but keeping mum over the origin of engine of Nirbhay despite a home grown engine might suggest strongly Nirbhay is not using home made engine atm
but both missile equipped with GPS / inertial navigation system so there is no problem at all.
Babur and Ra'ad quite easily can maneuver over water go to youtube and check the videos. Nirbhay tries to do this nose dived and never appears again.Its a Russian engine for now. Saturn TRDD-50MT most probably.
Not just that. Wave heights keep changing. So if there is a bigger wave in front, it needs to be able to maneuver. Check gambits reply on another thread. He has explained it beautifully.
