Indian Cruise Missile Test: FAIL

January 21, 2009

Times of India Reports:

NEW DELHI: Initially, the BrahMos LACM test from the Pokhran field firing range at 10.23am on Tuesday was touted as “successful” by defence ministry officials. But later in the day, this newspaper learnt that it had been quite unsuccessful.

This comes at a time when the Pakistan Army is galloping ahead in inducting its nuclear-capable Babur land-attack cruise missile (LACM) – to have a strike range of over 500 km – in large numbers into its arsenal. [source]

Lets revisit that video of a failed Indian missile test from a couple of years ago:

More on Pakistan’s ‘BABUR’ Cruise Missile:
The Babur missile (Urdu: بابر ; Babar means lion in the Turkic language) is the first cruise missile to be fielded by Pakistan.
The Babur is capable of carrying either conventional or nuclear warheads and has a reported range of upto 500 miles. It can be fired from warships, submarines and fighter jets. It is designed to avoid radar detection and penetrate undetected through a defensive system. The cruise missile is a terrain hugging missile and it has an up-to-date navigation and guidance system, and a high degree of maneuverability. Serial production of Babur started in October 2005.
