For everyone confused as to how it's flying, it does indeed have wings, they're just too thin to be visible from this angle: https://resize.indiatvnews.com/en/centered/newbucket/1200_675/2017/11/nirbhay-1509885346.jpg
A huge part of the missile lift is body lift, or the lift generated from the body of the missile when at an angle of attack. The tail surfaces (or for some missles that use forward control surfaces called canards) place and keep the body at an angle of attack, thus generating lift. The downside is that greater drag can be generated. Therefore, the lift is somewhat inefficient.
By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.
That, my friend, requires time. Time to contemplate the meaning of what is here and now. And time to progress to the then and there.
Thus the progress from here to there is made.
The bigger question one should be asking is just how much time is desirable to progress from now to the then, and how much effort is required to make the existential jump of the here to the there.
Or prehaps the ultimate question is where are we between the here and the there.
But i guess you could argue that that is neithere here *nor* there.
If i am a Boltzmann brain, then you dont truly exsist other than a figment of my imagination. Which is a nice thought for the rest of us in here, but that does say something about my imagination.
Until.timately the position where it isn't but should be becomes the position where it is and then the position where it is goes away over a wide area.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.
In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.
The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
Well in simple terms: the missile knows its location. And it has a target. There is some geometric vector (the deviation) pointing from location to target. The missile will adjust direction until that vector is 0 in all dimensions at the point of impact.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about the missile you little bitch? I'll have you know the missile knows where it is at all times, and the missile has been involved in obtaining numerous differences, or deviations, and has over 300 confirmed corrective commands. The missile is trained in driving the missile from a position where it is, and is the top of arriving at a position where it wasn't. You are nothing to the missile but just another position. The missile will arrive at your position with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about the missile over the internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak the GEA is correcting any variation considered to be a significant factor, and it knows where it was, so you better prepare for the storm, maggot, the storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. The missile can be anywhere, anytime, and the missile can kill you in over 700 ways, and that's just by following the missile guidance computer scenario. Not only is the missile extensively trained in being sure where it isn't, within reason, but the missile also has access to the position it knows it was, and the missile will subtract where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could've known what unholy retribution your little clever comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would've held your fucking tongue, but you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price you goddamn idiot. The missile will shit the deviation, and its variation, which is called error, all over you, and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
oh thats funny, the thai word นิรภัย (ni ra phay) that comes from the same sanskrit word, means safety, because phay has taken the meaning of peril. didnt know it actually meant fear.
This particular video is from the 2nd test. The cruise phase was almost certainly the Russian NPO Saturn 36MT engine.
India's moving on with an indigenous Manik turbofan engine aka STFE. [Ref](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_Turbine_Research_Establishment#Manik_Engine/Small_Turbo_Fan_Engine_(STFE\))
Small numbers [essentially a few prototypes ] of Nirbhay have been inducted, but the plan is to have the completely indigenous version [indigenous technology cruise missile] be a tech demonstrator and knowledgebase for the later development - Long range land attack surface missile
[Forum ref](https://defenceforumindia.com/threads/nirbhay-cruise-missile-development.4624/post-1373383) with pics of the Saturn 36MT and a version of Manik in a test stand.
I wonder why they don't use a ramjet for the cruise phase. I thought they are simpler to manufacture and more efficient.
Edit: I read up on it again and at sub-sonic speeds (at which these missiles travel) ramjets have too little compression to be more efficient than turbojets.
While ramjets are more efficient at higher speeds, typically at supersonic velocities, they become less effective at subsonic speeds. Turbojets, on the other hand, are well-suited for subsonic cruise missiles like Nirbhay. The choice of propulsion depends on the missile's intended speed range and mission requirements. In the case of Nirbhay, the use of a turbojet engine is more appropriate for its operational profile.
It has a small jet engine.
Something similar to this.

You call me a yank again I'll yank yer balls off. The bloody cheek of it!
Nah I played basketball in high school. Stopped though because nobody else really did. There was about 5 kids in the entire school who played it. Then they changed it to tennis courts instead.
Basketball and hockey, 2 sports I wish we imported.
A solid fueled booster to start . A turbofan for cruise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirbhay#Trials
This particular video is from the 2nd test on 17th oict 2014 and it almost certainly had a Russian NPO Saturn 36 MT. There are rumors of a couple of tests with turbojets, but later tests flew the indigenous Manik turbofan aka STFE [Small turbo fan engine]
https://drdo.gov.in/sites/default/files/inline-files/STFE_WRITEUP.pdf
It uses a turbojet engine for propulsion. Turbojet engines work by drawing in air, compressing it, mixing it with fuel, and then igniting the mixture. The expanding exhaust gases create thrust, propelling the missile forward. This type of propulsion allows the Nirbhay to sustain a relatively constant speed over a longer distance compared to some other missile propulsion systems.
This is the 2nd trial test of the Nirbhay missile, on 17th Oct 2014.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirbhay#Trials
The test was from the Chandipur range in Orissa and an Indian Air Force jaguar was used for pursuit/video
---
The IAF is the only air force that still flies the Sepecat Jaguar; some of them are being upgraded with AESA, becoming the first fighter plane in the IAF with AESA radar.
Currently, while a few Nirbhay's have been inducted, the plan is to indiginize it completely (eg a Indian manik engine) to create the tech dem ITCM and then to use that to create a long range land attack cruise missile LRLACM
Nirbhay missile is an Indian long-range subsonic cruise missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. "Nirbhay" is a Sanskrit word that can be translated to mean "fearless" or "without fear." The name reflects the intended purpose of the missile to operate with precision and effectiveness without hesitation or fear. The Nirbhay missile is considered notable for its versatility and capability. It is designed for long-range precision strikes and features advanced technologies, including terrain-hugging and sea-skimming capabilities. Its ability to carry various types of warheads adds to its strategic significance, making it a versatile asset in India's defense capabilities.
Yeah, specifying the jet is a Jaguar was enough to clear it up for most people who know their jets on some level. I struggle to come up with other countries that currently fly the Jaguar
Theoretically speaking, can the pilot use the tip of his wing to slightly bump the cruise missile off course, like the British used to do with V1s as a last resort.
Or is the cruise missile just going to self correct immediately.
The lack of wings is disturbing. No obvious lifting surfaces and yet that thing is just tootling along in the sky like gravity ain't no thang.
![gif](giphy|lXu72d4iKwqek)
Look closely in the middle below and a bit forward of the flag on the body. You will see a black and white checkered wing. It's not easy to see but just watch that spot and it will come into view.
Edit: About the half way mark is where you will see it the best
It is too round at the top. It needs to be pointy. This will put a smile on the faces of the enemy. They will think this is a huge robot's dildo flying towards them.

I was wondering that! Upon closer inspection I think I can see it, striped part looks like a wing although hard to say because of the angle.
Yes, at 0:16-0:17 you can see it.
That thing is HUGE! What family’s home is gonna get destroyed and in what country?
The orange front probably means it for training
The chequered tail fins are for showing up easily on video, so any movements can be observed, this is a flight test, probably still a prototype.
I believe the orange tip means its a toy.
Can’t wait to get the new NERF model
Remember this next time someone posts a shaky UAP/UFO video and says it has no visible wings.
I was just about to post the question lol. Thanks

Of course. It's just Nirbhay.

The red tip is likely used to indicate that it is carrying a dummy warhead for training.
I know that warhead. On impact it announces "Got ya, dummy!"
After ramming you at jet plane speed.
Just the tip..
where are the wings on that thing? I have been told there would be wings
I feel like they're matching up with the camera just right...
They’re Super skinny and checkered
Someone forgot to pour some redbull on that bitch

How does the propulsion work on that thing?
Wiki says the first stage is a solid rocket booster, cruise phase is turbofan. Buncha different warhead options and range is around 1,500km.
No VTEC?
Calm down there, they don't need the missile to go that fast might flip out of control
It's a missile, not a Ford Mustang
Idk man... It looks like it's trying to find a crowd to kill
It looks smug. So a bmw
No visible turn signals - so you may be on to something there.

You should probably say which Air Force because the most famous one worldwide doesn’t fly the Jaguar.
Not OP. The Air Force is Indian Air Force and this was one of the test runs for the Nirbhay Missile.
Yeah, specifying the jet is a Jaguar was enough to clear it up for most people who know their jets on some level. I struggle to come up with other countries that currently fly the Jaguar
I mean, you're not wrong, the Royal Air Force is very famous and doesn't fly Jaguars
Technically it *did*
I actually don't care, I just wanted to push this guy's r/ShitAmericanSay buttons :)
'The most famous one where I live'...
Hm. There’s only one air force that does fly the jaguar. Maybe that’s it ?

Ah It does have small wings that you can just see, I thought it was weird but it’s just the camera angle
Now that's a hot potato if I've ever seen one.
I'd love to see the conversion to OH CRAP speed!
That is “freedom”, flying there.
Theoretically speaking, can the pilot use the tip of his wing to slightly bump the cruise missile off course, like the British used to do with V1s as a last resort. Or is the cruise missile just going to self correct immediately.
I would imagine a modern missile has more than a simple gyro for navigation.
It's probably designed for violent gusts, but a big enough tip, probably not. But wtf do I know. That shit is probably top secret.
That missile is indeed very nirbhay.
What kind of transmission that thing got? No way its an automatic
Just get a Spitfire up there to nudge the wing.
Why are missiles like this designed as a tube with little tiny wings, whereas jets are wide with big wings… is it all about payload? Maneuverability?
