After destroying Pakistan with BrahMos missile, India gets ready to build BrahMos-2K with..., China, Pakistan shivering with fear due to...
According to media reports, a big agreement can be reached between India and Russia to restart the BrahMos-2K hypersonic cruise missile programme when Russian President Vladimir Putin visits India. Let us tell you that BrahMos-2K is considered to be the next generation of the existing BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and it will have hypersonic speed. It will be based on the technology of Russia's Zircon (3M22 Zircon) missile.
According to the report, a scramjet engine will be used in BrahMos-2K and it can carry a nuclear warhead. Its speed could be around 8 Mach (9878 KMPH) and its range is said to be 1500 kilometers. This project is a joint venture between India's DRDO and Russian NPO Mashinostroyeniya and now that BrahMos has been tremendously successful against Pakistan, efforts have been initiated to restart this programme. How powerful will the BrahMos-2K missile be?
The BrahMos-2K missile will be one of the most dangerous missiles in the world and perhaps no air defense system has been made yet that can intercept it. China is constantly trying to make air defense to counter the BrahMos missile, but so far it has been unsuccessful. According to defense experts, it will be equipped with the most advanced scramjet technology, which means that its speed will be hypersonic till it hits the target. Its speed will not decrease due to atmospheric pressure.
The current BrahMos missile has a speed of 3.5 Mach (4321 KMPH) and a range of 800 kilometers. India has deployed it in the Indian Air Force and Indian Navy. Apart from this, BrahMos has also been deployed in the Indian Army. BrahMos-2K, which is also being called BrahMos Mark-II or BrahMos-II, will have very low radar signature and advanced manoeuvring capability, making it almost impossible to intercept. How many countries are working on hypersonic missiles?
India is starting the BrahMos-2K programme at a time when many countries are working towards making hypersonic missiles, but only China and Russia have been successful. America's hypersonic missile programme has failed at least three times, but India has come very close to making a hypersonic missile.

‘Don't control me': Jaya Bachchan's fiery remarks during Op Sindoor debate
Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan on Wednesday raised concerns in the Rajya Sabha over the recent terror attack in Pahalgam, questioning the government's handling of the situation and its promises following the abrogation of Article 370. Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan speaks during a debate in the Rajya Sabha on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, at the Monsoon session of Parliament.(Sansad TV) 'It feels strange to say this because what happened looks like fiction to me. You read such things in books, you see them on screen. That people came like this, killed so many... It is really unreal,' she said during a debate on Operation Sindoor. As members from the treasury bench made remarks, inaudible in the broadcast, Bachchan responded, 'I won't pay attention, but my ears are sharp. What can I do about that? I can't help it.' Referring again to the treasury bench, she added, 'I will at least congratulate you for having such writers who come up with big names like Sindoor.' Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was seated next to her, was seen smiling. Bachchan questioned the naming of India's precision strike against Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack, 'Why was this operation named Sindoor? Women's Sindoor has been wiped away.' When treasury bench members interrupted again, she remarked, 'Either you speak or I will speak.' BJP MP Surendra Singh Nagar, who was presiding over the House, said, 'Jaya ji, you address the Chair. Whatever you say will go on record.' To this, Bachchan again looked towards the treasury bench and said, 'When you speak, I don't interrupt. When a woman speaks, I never interrupt. So please mind your tongue.' She then turned to Priyanka Chaturvedi, who was seen gesturing with her right arm, and said, 'Priyanka, don't control me,' prompting laughter in the House, including from Chaturvedi herself. Jaya Bachchan continued, 'After the abrogation of Article 370, I saw people proudly saying terrorism will end. 'We promise you.' What happened? These tourists went with that belief. 'We are going to Kashmir, it is paradise.' What did they get? You have destroyed the faith and trust of the people you made promises to.'
