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.
