India developing world's most dangerous hypersonic missile capable of causing more destruction than BrahMos, its speed..., almost impossible...
New Delhi: During Operation Sindoor, the world witnessed the power of India's BrahMos missile. To make a strong attack on Pakistan and terrorism it supports, India targeted the terrorist bases of Jaish and Lashkar with this missile. After BrahMos, India is now working on a new missile. This is a hypersonic missile that will be equipped with more destructive power than BrahMos. The engine has been successfully tested
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been long focused on developing an indigenous hypersonic missile. In a recent interview, former DRDO chief and senior scientist Dr. Sudhir Kumar Mishra mentioned that India is soon going to present this hypersonic missile to the world. Its engine has been successfully tested. India included among select countries
India has joined the select group of countries that possess hypersonic missile technology. In November 2024, the DRDO successfully tested its first long-range hypersonic missile (LRAShM – Long Range Anti-Ship Missile) from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha. Scramjet engine-based technology
India is now on the list of countries with hypersonic missile technology, alongside Russia, China, and the USA. Hypersonic missiles operate using scramjet engine-based technology. Faster than BrahMos
India already possesses the world's fastest missile, BrahMos, which is a supersonic missile. The new hypersonic missile will be faster than BrahMos. Hypersonic missiles strike the enemy at speeds five times or more than the speed of sound (Mach 5 or more than 6,174 km/h). It is almost impossible to intercept hypersonic missiles from radar. Even if they are intercepted, it is almost impossible to stop them. The technology to stop hypersonic missiles is available only to select countries.
Hypersonic missiles can change direction during flight. The hypersonic missile that India is working on has not been detailed yet, but some media reports claim that its range is more than 1,500 kilometers.
India has long been making its defense preparations keeping China in mind. India is also working on a hypersonic version of BrahMos, which is expected to have a speed of Mach 7-8. These missiles are capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear weapons, making them even more dangerous.

Air Force looks to expand long-range air-to-ground, air-to-air missile arsenal
Backed by the success of Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force (IAF) is moving to significantly expand its arsenal of long-range air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles, each with a strike range of over 200 km, defence sources told India Operation Sindoor, the Air Force used advanced stand-off weapons such as the BrahMos, SCALP, Rampage, and Crystal Maze missiles to strike enemy air bases and assets from distances of 250–450 km, staying clear of Chinese HQ-9 air defence success of these strikes has shaped the IAF's future procurement plans. The Air Force has asked the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to develop extended-range versions of the indigenous Astra missile, capable of hitting targets beyond 200 is also considering acquiring Russia's R-37 missile, known for its long reach and potential to give India an edge over both western and northern parallel, the Force has urged DRDO to speed up work on the Project Kusha long-range air defence missile are also in place to purchase at least two additional squadrons of the S-400 air defence system, depending on the manufacturer's S-400 has played a decisive role in recent operations, forcing Pakistani aircraft to either fly deep inside their territory or operate at low one record-setting instance, the system shot down a spy plane at a distance of over 300 Air Force has presented the government with a detailed roadmap, which includes the induction of Rafale fighters, fifth-generation jets, and a wide range of long-range precision strike and air defence weapons to strengthen India's combat readiness for future conflicts.- EndsMust Watch
