Regarding Nirbhay, it was to be tested in 2009. Still no signs of any testing. When will it be tested ? any rough idea ?These missiles could be possibly tested with greater secrecy than BMs. Taiwan or South Korea (dont remember which one) tested a 1000km CM in a 25km long range by making it go up and down 40+ times....

correction,Nirbhay MKI will take strategic role,untill MKII rolls out.There is no point of publicising the development and testing efforts of the same.In any case,it appears much better to let the enemy at the borders guessing by creating a high level of uncertainity of the posession of the weapon system.
Donno how this 1000km range popped up into the public when no such number was on paper <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Better to consider the low side? <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Currently there is no shortage of manpower for strategic systems.Work is going on at a wartime pace.There were numerous other systems under development,which a citizen with just a right to vote can hardly know.Many ABM project like shocks to the defence enthusiasts are on the way.
