New Delhi: India’s defence ministry has admitted its military’s culpability in “accidentally firing” an unidentified missile deep inside Pakistan, triggering widespread alarm over the ramifications of such blunders between two neighbouring and antagonistic nuclear-armed states.

But remarkably, New Delhi waited almost 24 hours before conceding its colossal error that had the grave potential of escalating into a conflagration of apocalyptic proportions over the ‘rogue missile’. That it did not hurt anyone can be attributed to providence and the collective karma of both countries. Thankfully, the inadvertently triggered missile was unarmed and ended up destroying just a wall in the small town of Mia Channu in Pakistan’s Khanewal province in Punjab, some 124km from the Indian border.

 

Possible reasons behind ‘stray missile’

Senior IAF officers told The Wire that these details matched the flight profile of the supersonic 8.4m long, two-stage BrahMos cruise surface-to-surface (SSM) missile variant developed jointly by India’s state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyenia, and named after the Brahmaputra and Moskva rivers.

BrahMos’s first stage comprises a solid-fuel rocket for initial acceleration, whilst its second is an air-breathing liquid-fueled ramjet engine, which boosts it to a speed of M2.8-M3 to a strike range of 292km, that had only recently been enhanced to 400km.

And though the Sirsa Air Force Station does not have a permanent BrahMos regiment, the missile system is peripatetic and can be fired from autonomous mobile launchers mounted on all-terrain high mobility Tatra trucks. Its many variants, developed over the past two decades after 2001 when it was first successfully flight-tested, were presently employed by all three Indian services.

“In all likelihood, the IAF was conducting a routine BrahMos training exercise on March 9 by firing the cruise missile from Sirsa to the Mahajan Field Firing Range in Rajasthan some 226km distant,” military analyst Air Marshal V K ‘Jimmy’ Bhatia (retired) told The Wire.

But for some inexplicable reason, it went “freaky” in what was a million-in-one chance, he stated in an endeavour to try and evaluate what could possibly have gone awry with the missile.

Bhatia averred that after travelling some 100km towards its objective in Rajasthan, the missile abruptly lost control, turning into a ‘twirler’, due possibly to the uneven burning of its solid propellant. This, in turn, Bhatia conjectured had adversely impacted its on-board guidance system into which all the target coordinates had been toggled, propelling it on a totally different north-westerly direction towards Pakistan.
