New Delhi: There are many powerful missiles in the world, including high-speed supersonic missiles. Russia's Avangard ranks first among the fastest missiles, which can cover 32,000 km per hour with hypersonic technology. Apart from this, the second and third number missiles are also very dangerous.
There are many countries in the world that have a stockpile of powerful missiles. India is also one of these countries, which has dangerous missiles like Brahmos, Akash and Agni. But do you know which are the fastest missiles in the world. Let's know about it.
Actually, supersonic missiles are known for their speed. Powerful countries use high-speed missiles to win the war and teach the enemy a quick lesson. Here we will talk about the 3 fastest missiles in the world.
The world's fastest missile is considered to be Avangard, which has been developed by Russia. This missile is based on hypersonic technology. This missile covers 32 thousand kilometers in just one hour and its range is around 6 thousand kilometers. The Avangard can be carried as a multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle (MIRV) payload of heavy intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). It can deliver both nuclear and conventional payloads.
The second name among the fastest missiles is Dongfeng-41 (DF-41), which has been made by China. The speed of this missile is 30,600 kilometers per hour. This missile is capable of targeting the enemy up to a range of 15 thousand kilometers. Its payload capacity is 2500 kg. it is reported that the DF-41 can carry 3 to 8 warheads.
The Trident 2 missile is not only one of the fastest missiles in the world but is also considered to be the most expensive missile. This missile was made by America, now it is a part of their navy. This missile can be launched from a submarine. Its speed is 29 thousand 654 kilometers per hour.

Much powerful than BrahMos..., better than Rafale, Sukhoi, F-35, this missile has left everyone in shock, developed by China, name is..., can hit... During Operation Sindoor, the wreath and havoc caused by the BrahMos Missile system set a standard among the world and presented India as the superpower it is. The amount of damage it caused can still be seen in parts of Pakistan. But, there is a new missile system, in front of which BrahMos is nothing more than a child! This new missile system holds the power to badly disturb the military balance in the world. What is this new missile system? Scientists in China have made a very dangerous missile, and if what they claim is true, this could be something that can change the face of the world. According to a report by the South China Post, China has tested the Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missile – an air to air missile with a range of 1,000 km. What's Special in this? A lot of countries do have this missile system but this one is different. This missile can travel at an astonishing speed on 5 mach, which is around 6112 km per hour. And the biggest ability it has is that it can hit the world's most modern jets like the F-35, F-22 Raptor, B-21 Raider from a distance of around 1,000 km. That means it can easily destroy fifth of 5+ generation fighter jets. In a likewise situation, one can image how effective it would be against fourth of 4.5 generation fighter aircrafts like the Rafale and Sukhoi. Report says Chins is planning to deploy this weapon in potential conflict areas, like the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, as it is considered one of the most advanced weapons in the world How is this missile so important? The BVR technology is not new, but making a missile with this technology, and having such a long range is still a big challenge for the top scientists and military engineers of the world. Currently, Russia and America also have these missile systems, the R-37M and the AIM-174B respectively. The range of these missiles is around 350-400km. India also has its own BVR missile system, the Astra MK-3 BVR System, and is trying to extend the range of it to 350-400 km. If the Chinese claims are true, then it can change the face of the world, and disturb the power balance in the entire region. How dangerous is this missile system? As far as the capability is concerned, it will render the most advanced defence system currently, the 5th generation fighter jets, completely useless, and would eliminate the usefulness of AWACS and AEW&C aircraft. All these systems can be destroyed by this missile system before they attack the enemy. Is there any danger for India? With China developing this new system, the defence strategies and combat air patrol ranges of countries like India, Japan, Taiwan and America can be badly affected. This arises a challenge for India to increase its BVR missile capacity range. The country has already succeeded in making Astra-1 and Astra-2, but we are still working in the hypersonic MK-3. DRDO and ISRO are working together on this. Work in the Astra series started in the year 2000. But, progress is quite slow. Currently, there is only MK-1 BVR missile, whose range is only 80-110 km. Military experts have pointed out quite a few flaws in it as well. Though, in 2022, the Ministry of Defence approved purchase of these missiles for the Air Force, for about Rs 3000 crore. These have been installed in some Sukhoi-30 MKI jets. The AK-2 series is almost on the verge of completion. Attempts of removing shortcomings in this have also been made. What about the BVR technology? This is the most advanced technology present today, and provides with the ability to attack beyond one's range of vision, hence the name. An air force pilot can normally see with their naked eye for around 37km, and can target enemy planes from this distance. The BVR technology is equipped with advanced radars, sensors and a lot of advanced navigation systems. It can destroy long range targets that are not even visible. It can search for the targets on its own, and are equipped with the fire and forget capability. India's Astra missile is based on this system.
