India’s DRDO is developing a sub sonic cruise missile called Nirbhay, with a range of more than 1,000 kms. Unlike the supersonic Brahmos, it doesn’t travel faster than the speed of sound. Rather, it has wings like a plane and is powered by a turbofan engine. It flies to the target carrying either conventional or a nuclear payload. This video from the last successful test shows the missile in flight. Taken from an IAF Jaguar plane, you can see the missile up close. Hats off to the daring pilot and cameraman who managed to get so close to a fast flying missile.
