Not max range then
Ah well, it was the first flight for a new engine, can't expect too much.

Lets wait for Official Report!Not max range then

he usually gets it wrong.

You don't need to test for maximum range. That is only when you need to get a message across
I thought he was one of the reliable ones. He certainly gets the earliest info on any tests happening in Odisha skies.
Good show DRDO. This will open the doors to have many more such missiles including antiship missiles. It seems we will become free of importing missiles of all kinds by 2022 as was envisaged by Late Sh. Parrikarji.
5 metres in height ? You can headshot a tree with that. Me and my weird ideas.
Its because he lives a stone's throw from APJAK Island (Wheeler Island). Once, he called a QRSAM test fail because it just dropped out into the seas after boost.
It was a launch and boost system test with a dummy missile that mimicked the original one... He will give quick info but accuracy at various levels. He is a newbie none the less, Shiv, Vishnu Som, Angad, Sandeep Unninathan and Dr. Anantha Krishnan are far-faaaaaaaaaar more reliable.

This a cross of Kalibir+Tomahawk, I have an inkling it range is more than 2000Km. longer flights aren't a biggie... its the maneuverability and targeting capability/weapons payload that is the prize. if it can run for 1500 KM it can go much farther, as long as fuel can be supplied. Thta's the real capability... at longer ranges target hit accuracy are an issue if there isn't enough precision int he guidance system.
The test done today may have been limited to just 600kms, but in terms of range and fuel carried, it was a full potential test. The missile varied its flight path manytimes during the flight resulting in higher fuel consumption which restricted its range. In normal profile, the missile will fly at a higher altitude of about 5k feet and dip down in the terminal phase to tree top altitude. It will also fly a steady speed at best SFC of the engine. In today's test it changed its altitude manytimes and also varied its speed.
That's a rather disturbing to know. If a journalist can access information by just being in vicinity, imagine what foreign spy orgs. can gather. I thought given the amount of tests we conduct from Wheeler Island it would be a more guarded area.
Exactly, it will be like a huge robotic dildo flying towards the enemy, they will laugh at us and worst of all it will bounce back and hit us. Terrible plan, just make it pointy.
Seriously though, the missile under went a serious redesign after the last test failure(don't remember when). The redesign seems to have had effect since this is the second successful test after the redesign. The only visible changes after the redesign is the blunt nose that was previously pointy.
I am sure DRDO consulted Professor Bobeye.That's a rather disturbing to know. If a journalist can access information by just being in vicinity, imagine what foreign spy orgs. can gather. I thought given the amount of tests we conduct from Wheeler Island it would be a more guarded area.
