Pakistan, China in tension as India is developing this superweapon, faster, deadlier, stealthier than… capable of… India is surrounded by enemies, and the recent conflict with Pakistan and the ongoing cold war with China have also raised an alarm that the country needs to strengthen its defence forces. India, which showcased its air prowess during Operation Sindoor, is now focusing on strengthening its naval power in view of the Dragon's growing influence in the Indian Ocean. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on a hypersonic missile for the Indian Navy. The K-6 hypersonic missile will be specifically designed for submarine launch, and the good news is that its trials are expected very soon. K-6 Hypersonic Ballistic Missile The hypersonic missile is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). It is equipped with high-tech engine, capable of surpassing the BrahMos cruise missile. With this hypersonic missile will place India in the club of powerful countries such as US, Russia, China, France and UK. Capable of carrying conventional and nuclear weapons, the K-6 missile will give the Indian Navy an edge over China and Pakistan. K-6 Hypersonic Missile: Super Speed And Unmatched Precision As per the Indian Defence Wing, a former BrahMos project scientist stated that K-6 SLBM's speed is its power which ensures that makes it undetectable on radars. It can be launched from submarines and can reach a speed of 7.5 Mach (approx 9,261 KMPH). Karachi's location near India's maritime border makes it a vulnerable strategic target. A successful attack on this major Pakistani economic centre could severely damage the country's economy. Extended Strike Range A former BrahMos scientist claims India's K-6 submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) has an 8,000-km range. It can reach any marine part of Pakistan. This follows previous tests of the K-3, K-4, and K-5 SLBMs, with the K-4 and K-5 already in service. The K-6, when deployed, will significantly enhance India's ballistic missile capabilities alongside the Agni-5 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Brahmos Brahmos is jointly developed by India and Russia. Known for its precision, Brahmos is one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world. It can reach a speed of Mach 2.8–3.0 with a 290–500 km range. Because of its accuracy, the cruise missile is used to strike crucial targets such as radar stations and bunkers. The missile is impossible to intercept because of its low radar cross-section.

BJP MLA clarifies over Vande Bharat train scuffle incident, says supporters' behaviour ‘unfortunate'
According to the MLA, the passenger and his companion responded rudely and threatened him. He claimed video evidence now supports his version of events. Addressing a press conference, the MLA said he was travelling with his wife and children from Delhi to Jhansi when he 'politely requested' a passenger to swap seats so the family could sit together. Jhansi (UP), Jun 27 (PTI) BJP's Babina MLA Rajeev Singh on Thursday clarified his stand on the May 19 incident aboard the Vande Bharat Express, stating that a 'misunderstanding' with fellow passengers escalated unnecessarily and that the altercation by his supporters in Jhansi was 'unfortunate and unintended'. The Uttar Pradesh unit of the BJP, on June 22, issued a show-cause notice to the party MLA in connection with the episode. The BJP had sought a reply from the legislator within seven days. According to the Government Railway Police (GRP), the altercation occurred on June 19 on the Delhi-Bhopal Vande Bharat Express, allegedly over changing seats and objectionable sitting posture inside the train. The situation escalated at Jhansi station, where a passenger was allegedly assaulted by some individuals linked to the ruling party MLA. On Thursday, Singh reiterated that he had filed a non-cognisable report (NCR) with the GRP that same evening after the encounter. He added that during the train journey, he had also sought assistance via the Rail Madad helpline, citing safety concerns. Later, when the train reached Jhansi, some of his local supporters, informed by his security personnel, allegedly assaulted one of the passengers. The MLA said this was done 'in over-enthusiasm' and without his approval. He stated that he later apologised to the passengers, who accepted his regret and acknowledged the misunderstanding. The incident has drawn political reactions, with some opposition leaders and a former IPS officer demanding action. However, the passenger involved has not filed a formal complaint, and the matter is currently under police investigation. PTI COR KIS AMJ SKY SKY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
