India Science Achievement! Cruise missile Nirbhay deviates from flight path

India's first indigenously developed sub-sonic cruise missile Nirbhay today failed to hit the target in its maiden test-firing as it had to be terminated mid-way after deviating from the flight course. However, the DRDO said the missile "successfully" met the basic mission objectives and performed some of the manouveres satisfactorily before being terminated mid way.
