Nirbhay Cruise Missile test failed.

[SQ8]

The same people here who are so conveniently apologizing for this failure.. would have been so vehemently pooh-pooing it had it been one of Pakistan's or China's.
the same goes for the other side..


How easily do we forget our sins to wash in the waters of moral hypocrisy.


On topic.. This could be quite likely an issue with the software.. since the launch seems to have worked fine which means that the "and/or" etc FPGA's that usually form the part of the launch mechanism(due to their lower latency) worked well.. and the more heavy and computationally intensive part that requires the missile to think .. failed.

Which basically means some team lead is having a headache about the answers he will have to give.. along with the massive debugging he will have to do.

This Nirbhay missile failed twice it was supposed to test fire in Feb but no news came out that failure was kept under the carpet and this is second one.

Keep your conspiracy theories with you,

@Oscar this is human nature- tribalism and false pride. What do you expect?

Better from more astute members..
I dont use senior because generally many senior members on all sides are just experienced trolls.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

Looks longer than Babur CM.

aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh............well things go wrong but

like a wise Failure once said

Failures are stepping stones to success

 

[Abingdonboy]

Looks longer than Babur CM.

The range of the Nirbhay is meant to be quite a bit more than the Babur's.

 

[kurup]

^^^ Most probably because it has a higher range.

Ssshhh,..

India does not copy from Pakistan!
After all, even if they did.. it would only make the ISI look like idiots..


The design is basically a long line of tomahawk copy-cats that have appeared all over..
Starting with the Russians.. Pakistan and China(literally) and now India as well.

The reason being is that the basic concept of the Tomahawk is a very strong one.. and it makes sense to not try and reinvent the wheel.

Maybe it's the angle.. but the Nirbhay looks longer..

You are being diplomatic now, when was the last time a Pakistani failure was made public for us Indians to have some fun?

 

[Abingdonboy]

Isn't the Nirbhay meant to have 1.5-2 times more range than the Babur, this explains the larger size of the Nirbhay,no?

@Oscar when you get a common bunch of challenges and a common goal then no matter which nation the desgienrs belong to, the design will most likely be very similar. Ie does anyone say that the Russians, French,Indians etc are ripping off the Wright Brothers for the design of their wing?

Funniest part of all this, this is what Shiv Aroor claimed the Nirbhay could look like not too long ago:

 

[S-DUCT]

Nirbhay wreckage found on land.

IMO, failure is due to because US stoped GPS signals like they did in brahmos test.

Pakistani failure's usually happen in the workshops and development areas.. The idea is to screw up soo many times while making something.. so when the time finally comes to test it.. you've already messed up as bad as you could and there is nothing really left to go wrong which you haven't "tested" already.. hence.. they usually work.

The range of the Nirbhay is meant to be quite a bit more than the Babur's.

Much smaller Babur gives 700+ km range while Larger Nirbhay gives 700 - 1000 km !! After watching the video of NDTV I was kinda shock to see the length of Nirbhay. It seemed twice longer than Babur while giving only 300km superiority over Babur, If it is the size of Tomahawk CM then it must give at least 1500km of range.

What are the actual / Official measurements of Nirbhay.
