It is worth noting that this missile, equipped with the features of indigenous imaging infra-red Sikar, fiber optic gyro INS and solid propulsion, can penetrate the target in real time. In the tests, the missile has proved its man-in-loop quality. Let us know that this missile uses indigenous imaging infra-red Sikar, which makes its attack infallible. The Ministry of Defense said that the mission also demonstrated a two -sided two -way Detalink system, so that the missile could again send the live images of Sikar back to the pilot to penetrate the target.

Nasm-SR Missile Failure
- It is the first indigenous air-affected anti-ship cruise missile developed for the Indian Navy.
- The NASM-SR missile C will replace Eagle missiles, which are currently in the Navy’s use.
- The Sea King helicopters are also being removed in a phased manner. In such a situation, it can be deployed on new MH-60R helicopters.
- Nasm-SR can fly only 5 meters above sea level. In such a situation, it becomes difficult to track and kill it with radar.
- The anti-ship missile is known as marine scheme.
- There is a firepower of about 60 kilometers.
- The air -projected anti -ship missile Mac can penetrate the target from the speed of 0.8 (slower than the sound speed).
- Its war head can keep up to 100 kg of explosives, capable of sinking patrol boats and damaging large warships.
