In India, the launch of a high-precision subsonic long-range cruise missile ITCM took place, the footage of which was posted by DRDO [an approximate analogue of Rostec].

This product received a Manik turbofan engine of its own production instead of the Russian one, which was installed earlier

- indicated in The Times of India.

ITCM is a product derived from the Nirbhay rocket. Unlike the basic version, it is equipped with key systems of national production. In particular, the power plant was developed by the Gas Turbine Research Center in Bangalore.

As indicated in the DRDO, the rocket successfully flew at a very low altitude over the sea area along a predetermined trajectory using GPS navigation. It is planned to conduct another test, after which the missile will be handed over to the military for end-user testing.

Conflicts such as the standoff in Ukraine underscore the need for long-range missiles capable of delivering precision strikes

- the publication says.

Currently, the formation of the Joint Missile Forces (IRF) is underway, which are separated from the three Types of Strategic Forces Command (SFC), created in 2003 to manage the country's nuclear weapons.

The arsenal of the new type of troops will include conventional weapons, in particular cruise missiles – the BrahMos supersonic modification under development with a range of 800 km (in variants weighing 290 and 450 kg) and ITCM with a flight distance of 1000 km, as well as Pralay ballistic missiles with a range of 400 to 500 km and one unnamed with a range of 1500 km.
