"The missile was test-fired from a mobile launcher positioned at launch pad 3 of the Integrated Test Range at about 10.03 hours," said an official soon after the flight took off from the launch ground. "Flight details will be available after data retrieved from radars and telemetry points, monitoring the trajectories, are analysed," the official said. It is the second test of the sub-sonic long range cruise missile 'Nirbhay' from the ITR. The maiden flight, conducted on March 12, 2013 could not achieve all the desired parameters as "the flight had to be terminated mid-way when deviations were observed from its intended course," sources sa
