India Develops 3 Missiles America Failed to Build, Sparks Concern in Pakistan-China

India has achieved a marvelous milestone in defense technology with the development of three hypersonic missiles under Project Dhwani, leaving even the global powers like the U.S. striving to catch up. Hypersonic missiles travel at speeds five times faster than sound (Mach 6 or 7, around 6,200 km/h) and are nearly impossible to intercept because of their speed and low-altitude flight capabilities.

India's Hypersonic Breakthrough

Led by DRDO, these missiles are all indigenous, that is to say they will be utilizing the most sophisticated technology like scramjet, which can sustain speeds of flight. With a payload exceeding 1,500 kilometers, it is poised to change India's defense posture all along three military branches-Army, Navy, and Air Force.

Why do Hypersonic Missiles Matter

These missiles are very vital in modern warfare due to their ability to evade detection by radar. BrahMos-2 is a typical example of India's advancements in hypersonic capabilities, where it boasts unmatched speed and precision. With three designs in progress, India's missile capabilities are going to redefine the global defense dynamics.

Implications for Pakistan and China

Pakistan and China face heightened security concerns, especially after India's accidental BrahMos missile launch into Pakistan went undetected. While the U.S. continues to struggle with hypersonic technology, India's successful collaboration with Russia underscores its growing defense prowess, positioning the country as a leader in advanced missile technology.
