On Monday (Sept 6), I’ll be putting up the first ever look at India’s low-key Long Range Cruise Missile (LRCM). Over the weekend, posts on the NRUAV programme and the upcoming Agni-II+ test. Stay tuned.
I am not wayword. Plz check Wiki Su-30MKI. It is a combo of 3 Brahmos per MKI Super-30 OR a combo of 1 Brahmos in centerline + 2/? Nirbhay.
Also, yes the known range is 1500 but in actuality it is 1500+. Plz do not forget that missile ranges are a function of mass, i.e. missile mass + fuel mass + warhead mass. So, ranges can be flexible.
i read in an article from aviation week that says that nirbhay might use navigaion data from russian glossnas suystem for its mid course or terminal guidance.so what about the active seeker tec and what are the differences b/n two or which is better.can someone comment on this
still awaiting ur report on IJT
@Shiv
the name is Nirbhay but i am bit confused abt its range, is it 1000 km or 1500 km
Yes it's Nirbhay. Undeclared range 1500 kms. Nuclear capable. To be mounted on the Su-30MKI Super-30 variant along with the Brahmos.
really a air launched version also?

Shiv, r u reporting( cut and paste) from this website…..Hope u don't.
@kunal
u r a bit wayword, the 40 Su30MKI meant for air launched Brahmos are only meant to carry Brahmos.
The Nirbhay will be attched possibly with Tu142M3 or the P-8 Poseidon that in Indian Navy plans to get in next 3-4 years.
Also the range is possibly more than 1500 km otherwise it wont be called a long range cruise missile.
Shiv, i found sumting abt NRUAV in this below website
