The Indian Army is gearing up to conduct user trials of the Nirbhay sub-sonic cruise missile. This development comes as the missile nears the completion of its developmental trials, powered by a locally made STFE engine.
Sub-sonic cruise missiles with a range of 1000 km are a crucial component of the upcoming Rocket Force, which is set to become the fourth service wing of the Indian Armed Forces. The Nirbhay missile has already been successfully tested from a truck-mounted system earlier this year.
The Army is keen to expand the production line to the private sector to ensure the missile system can be inducted in larger numbers. The Rocket Force is anticipated to require 1000 units of sub-sonic cruise missiles for its arsenal within the next decade.
The successful development and deployment of the Nirbhay missile will bolster India’s strategic capabilities and contribute to its growing defense industry.
