Why they fired at sea an anti tank missile?
Did they loose confidence after many failed tests?

It is based on spike ER which has a range upto 25km with an active radar homing seeker meaning LOS is required making it useless around hilly areas and uneven terrain. It was previously tested in 2018.

I don't know much about this one. There are dozens of missile projects running at any time so I remember only the big ones. In tanks I have heard of NAG and HELINA, but this is the first time I'm hearing of this.
@Maarkhoor maybe off the coast of Orissa doesn't mean they fired it into sea. the Wheeler Island/ kalam Island facility is off the coast of orissa where they test our missiles. maybe that's what this means.


oh wait....I realized much later that you were trolling....

SANT missile is the second anti-tank guided missile system which has been under development on priority bases due to the need for a long-range anti-tank guided missile system. SANT missile will have a range of 15-20 km and is equipped with a new, nose-mounted active radar seeker to help keep the launch platform at a safe distance from the target area. SANT missile which has been integrated into IAF operated Mi-35 Hind Attack Helicopters have recently cleared some of the developmental trials and will be used as a multi-platform missile system which will also be integrated into high-altitude combat drones and also into strike aircraft. HELINA and SANT are likely to enter mass production from 2020 on wards and will be the backbone of the anti-tank guided missile systems which will go to provide firepower to Indigenous Attack Helicopters in near future.

Wow! so the drone ecosystem is finally beginning to take shape!

Am literally waiting for the day when DRDO clam they tested "Sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their fricking heads....."

The SANT is an extended range version of air-to-surface anti tank guided missile HELINA equipped with a new nose-mounted active radar homing seeker with extended range. Just so you know Helina is the helo launched version of Nag ATGM. Usually all initial missile tests in their preliminary stage, be it strategic or tactical are tested from Abdul Kalam Island off the coast of Orissa by DRDO. They're moved onto user trails in various altitudes/weather and simulating real-time scenarios only after they pass DRDO's preliminary tests

Did they loose confidence after many failed tests?

Out of the 11 missiles tested over the past 3 months, only 1 failed since the Nirbhay was tested with a new indigenous Manik engine

We don't have the expertise of the Pakistanis to design a award winning fighter jet jf-fc1 in 1 year and have it flying the next ....
We have to go through the testing process.

As long we have Pakistan, a shining beacon of success in the world of missile testing with not a single missile failure, no Indian scientist will loose confidence

They are proud to have South Asian nation achieve global repute for successful track record in missile test and this gives them hope

All nations on this planet including USA, Russia and China hope to achieve Pakistanis missile test track record

Looks like India is beefing up ant-tank platforms.

At least Pakistan can make a subsonic cruise missile with a tenth of the resources of india

India’s Nirbhay cruise missile test fails

Nirbhay — an intermediate-range subsonic land-attack cruise missile with terrain hugging — is an Indian version of the American Tomahawk and the Russian Club SS-N-27 cruise missiles.

ATGM is a new field which will be hard for india as for now... conventional missiles are easy for indian tactical not so easy as of now but such small arms which require more precision will take few years...

So basically its based in Helena which is based on Nag ATGM so you are saying they just made improvements into an ATGM based air launched missile fir ATGM role and named it differential
