    Information Booster:

    The Nirbhay is a long-range, subsonic cruise missile that was developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO):

    • Capabilities- The Nirbhay is capable of carrying conventional and nuclear warheads, and can engage multiple targets in a single flight. It can also fly very low to the ground to avoid detection by enemy radar.
    • Design- The Nirbhay is 6 meters long, 0.5 meters in diameter, and weighs 1,500–1,600 kilograms at launch. It has a cylindrical fuselage, similar to the U.S. Tomahawk and the Russian Club SS-N-27.
    • Deployment- The Nirbhay can be launched from multiple platforms, including land-based mobile launchers and submarines. It is currently deployed in limited numbers in Line of Actual Control (LAC) during standoff with China.
    • Development- The Nirbhay was developed by the Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) in Bengaluru, with contributions from other DRDO laboratories and Indian industries.
    • Test history- The Nirbhay's first flight test took place in 2013, but was aborted when the missile veered off course. The second test in 2014 was successful, with the missile reaching a range of 1,000 kilometers.
