FROM MARS MISSION TO NAVIGATION SATELLITES TO N-CAPABLE MISSILES: INDIA SCORES BIG SCIENTIFICALLY (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)

After last month’s success of its maiden Mars Orbiter Mission, India has just notched up two more back-to-back scientific feats on October 16 and 17, both of which will beef up Indian military might in a big way.
India’s N-capable Nirbhay stealth missile

On Friday, Indian defense scientists came up with a stellar accomplishment when they successfully test-fired the Nirbhay nuclear-capable cruise missile from Chandipur in the eastern state of Odisha. The Indian scientists’ feat is all the more laudable as the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO)-developed missile was test-fired days after Cyclone Hudhud hit Odisha’s coastal region.

Nirbhay (which means fearless) is India’s equivalent of the United States’ Tomahawk missile. The subsonic cruise missile has stealth features, which enhances its lethality. It can fly at tree-top level, thus evading enemy radar, and strike targets more than 700 km away. The missile can also carry nuclear warheads.
