India's trial of its first cruise missile Nirbhay had to be terminated halfway today, when the missile deviated from its course after launch. The missile had to be blown up.
The test failed but the Defence Research and Development Organisation or DRDO, which developed the missile, has said mission not unsuccessful. "The Nirbhay cruise missile launch was a mixed success. The lift-off was successful but the flight had to be terminated halfway. We have not been able to achieve complete range capability, but the mission objectives have been met," it said in a statement. The DRDO is still examining the flight details.
The cruise missile was fired from the Chandipur test range in Odisha at 11 am.
The Nirbhay (which means fearless) is highly manoeuvrable, can fly at tree-top level making it very difficult to detect on radar, and it strikes targets more than 700 km away carrying nuclear warheads, giving India the capability to strike deep into enemy territory.
