More bad news for China, Pakistan as India gets another lethal weapon, much more powerful than Brahmos, S-500-Iron Dome failed, 11000 Kmph speed, 1500 km range
More bad news for China, Pakistan as India gets another lethal weapon, much more powerful than Brahmos, S-500-Iron Dome failed, 11000 Kmph speed, 1500 km range (Picture for representation purposes) This is the reason why new weapons are being developed by constantly upgrading fighter jets, drones and missile systems. The Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) is continuously working in this direction. Brahmos cruise missile, Agni-5 ballistic missile, Akash air defense system etc. are the result of this alertness and vigilance. After the success of Brahmos, now DRDO is preparing to test another cruise missile, which is more lethal than Brahmos. With this, India has now joined the list of few countries that have the technology to develop hypersonic cruise missiles. DRDO has named it Project Vishnu. India has achieved great success in the field of military technology. Indian Army has developed the Extended Trajectory Long Duration Hypersonic Missile (ET-LDHCM). According to the information, ET-LDHCM is set to be launched soon. Under Project Vishnu, ET-LDHCM will further strengthen India's strategic advantage over Pakistan. Through this, China can also be counter-balanced. ET-LDHCM is capable of entering the enemy's den and showing him the scene of destruction. The capability of hypersonic speed and precise attack makes it more lethal and dangerous than the BrahMos cruise missile. ET-LDHCM is also much more effective and lethal than the existing BrahMos cruise missile in terms of range. The special thing is that ET-LDHCM equipped with scramjet engine has been developed completely with the help of indigenous technology. Due to having an ultra modern engine, the speed of this cruise missile will be much higher than a normal missile. Three times faster than Brahmos The main feature of any weapon is its speed, range and lethality. ET-LDHCM is equipped with all these three capabilities. Developed on the basis of indigenous technology, ET-LDHCM uses a modern scramjet engine. Scramjet engines are used to make missiles or jets hypersonic. DRDO has developed ET-LDHCM with a scramjet engine. The scramjet engine is based on the air-breathing engine concept. In this, a rotating compressor is not used, but the air inside is used for combustion (for burning). This is the reason why the scramjet engine is capable of generating more speed. ET-LDHCM developed by DRDO is capable of moving towards the target at a speed of Mach-8 i.e. about 11000 kilometers per hour. This means that the entire Pakistan can be attacked simultaneously in just a few minutes. ET-LDHCM is ahead of the current Brahmos cruise missile in both speed and range. Initially, the speed of Brahmos was 290 km, which was later increased to 400-450 km. At the same time, the range of ET-LDHCM is 1500 km. In this way, ET-LDHCM is more than 3 times more powerful than Brahmos in terms of range. ET-LDHCM is capable of carrying 1000 to 2000 kg warhead. This modern missile is capable of hitting the target with conventional as well as nuclear warhead. ET-LDHCM has been developed by DRDO in such a way that it is capable of traveling even at low altitude. Because of this, ET-LDHCM can easily bypass the radar. Operational flexibility is the special and important feature of ET-LDHCM. It can be launched from anywhere, be it land, air or sea. This further strengthens India's strategic and tactical reach. Unlike conventional ballistic missiles, ET-LDHCM's ability to travel according to the geographical conditions of the area and change its path in mid-flight is no less than a disaster for the enemy. Through this, it will become very easy to cause deep damage by destroying the enemy's bases. The speed of 11 thousand kilometers per hour and the range of 1500 kilometers make ET-LDHCM even more dangerous. Capable of withstanding temperatures of 2000 °C Along with range and speed, there is another feature that makes any missile or fighter jet excellent and dangerous. The capabilities of a missile or fighter jet are also analyzed on the basis of how much temperature it can withstand. ET-LDHCM is capable of achieving its target even in extreme heat conditions. According to the information, ET-LDHCM is capable of working normally even in a temperature of 2000 degrees Celsius. Let us tell you that till now only Russia, America and China have this technology. If the test of ET-LDHCM is successful, India will become the fourth country in this club.

A new licensing agreement between the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and Gujarat-based Amul has triggered a political storm in Karnataka, with opposition voices accusing the Congress-led state government of sidelining the homegrown dairy brand, to BMRCL's newsletter published on June 16, ten Bengaluru Metro stations will soon host Amul kiosks. The stations include major stops like Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station (Majestic), Indiranagar, Baiyappanahalli, Trinity, and Banashankari. The agreement is with the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF), which owns development has led to sharp criticism from Union Minister and JD(S) leader HD Kumaraswamy, who accused Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and the Congress government of betraying Kannada pride. In a post on X, JD(S) alleged the government had 'sold self-respect for commission' and questioned why a brand from outside Karnataka was preferred over Nandini, run by the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF).Before the assembly elections in 2023, Congress leaders had campaigned on the slogan #SaveNandini, positioning the brand as a symbol of Kannada pride and a farmers' lifeline. The JD(S) has now accused the government of hypocrisy for allowing Amul outlets while neglecting the state's own dairy response, DK Shivakumar clarified that the allocation was the result of a global tender floated by BMRCL. 'Since the allocation was done through a tender, we cannot make changes now,' he milk war in Karnataka two years ago started with a tweet from Amul stating that Gujarat-based dairy giant will start online deliveries in Bengaluru. The announcement did not go down well with those associated with Nandini. They also see it as an attempt to trample upon KMF, amid speculation about its merger with then Opposition, Congress and the JD(S) alleged that Amul's entry, backed by the BJP, would pose a threat to KMF's Watch IN THIS STORY#Bengaluru#Karnataka

'With the P-12, we will show that foiling electric ferries can add a vital new layer of mobility to Mumbai.'The initiative forms part of Maharashtra's broader vision to revolutionise urban transport by investing in sustainable maritime infrastructure . Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Ports Minister Nitesh Rane have announced plans for thousands of electric vessels to integrate the coastline into the public transport first phase includes routes between the Gateway of India and Alibaug — cutting travel time from nearly three hours by road to less than 30 minutes — and to Elephanta Island. A new line linking the upcoming airport to central Mumbai is also in development.'This is a giant leap for Mumbai and our national goals for a sustainable future along India's vast coastline,' said Thakur. 'JalVimana is honoured to bring this Swedish innovation to Indian shores.'Candela's P-12 made its commercial debut in Stockholm in late 2024, significantly reducing emissions and commute times. The Mumbai fleet represents the world's largest order of electric passenger ferries , positioning the city as a global leader in urban maritime mobility.
