Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday (December 26) warned that India cannot ignore Pakistan’s changing military strategy, especially their focus on hypersonic missile systems. He talked about the growing influence of Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir and his increasing anti-India fundamentalism. The Congress MP said that India has learned lessons from past experiences with Pakistan and hence we should be fully prepared.

In an interview with India Today, Shashi Tharoor said that after drones, rockets and missiles, now they (Pakistan) are pursuing hypersonic technologies, they are changing their military strategy, so we cannot take it lightly. Referring to the internal situation in Pakistan, Tharoor described it as extremely problematic, where there is a nominal government and complete control of the army. He cited economic instability and dependence on foreign aid as factors that could encourage military adventurism.

‘Army’s agenda always dominates in Pakistan’
Tharoor said that Pakistan is a very problematic country at many levels, which is dominated by the army, hence the agenda of the army will always dominate the policies there. The Congress MP said that Pakistan is economically very fragile. It has received considerable funding from various international and western donors. In such a situation, economic fragility often leads the country towards military adventurism.

What was said while comparing the two economies?
While comparing both the economies (India-Pakistan), Tharoor said that Pakistan’s GDP growth rate is 2.7 percent, while India’s growth rate is around 7 percent or more. He also talked about Pakistan’s growing influence in areas where India has a strong presence. The Congress MP said that Pakistan is expanding in sectors like textiles and agriculture, which can increase competition in regional markets.

As the world is moving towards the development of modernity and technology, along with it the military power of many countries of the world has also progressed a lot through technology. Today, many countries of the world have developed such deadly and dangerous missiles by using science and technology, which completely destroy the enemy in the blink of an eye. If we talk about the most dangerous missiles, then supersonic and hypersonic missiles are counted at the forefront. This deadly missile is capable of destroying the enemy sitting thousands of kilometers away with complete accuracy in a few minutes, but today we are going to tell you about the difference between these two missiles.

How deadly is supersonic missile?,

According to the report of Voice of America, a supersonic missile is a missile which strikes 2-3 times faster than the speed of sound. This missile is capable of hitting its target with extremely high speed. In this missile, conventional jet engine or rocket motor is used in supersonic missiles, which along with its high speed also increases its accurate striking capability and makes a terrible attack by dodging the enemy. The biggest example of this is the BrahMos missile jointly developed by India and Russia, with which India had hurt Pakistan during Operation Sindoor and destroyed many terrorist hideouts.

What is the specialty of hypersonic missile?,

According to the report of Voice of America, a hypersonic missile is designed to attack at a speed of Mach 5 i.e. about 5 times the speed of sound and more, i.e. its speed is about 6200 kilometers per hour. A hypersonic missile is capable of destroying enemy targets in a moment while easily dodging radar. According to the report, this extremely deadly missile can change its direction in the air after being launched.

Which countries have this dangerous missile

According to the report, America, the most powerful country in the world, has hypersonic missiles. Apart from this, Russia and China are also developing hypersonic missiles. India’s name is also included in this list. India has developed its hypersonic missile ET-LDHCM under Project Vishnu.

China has once again surprised everyone in the world of defense. Scientists in Beijing have claimed to have created a hypersonic missile that can change its shape while flying at a speed greater than Mach 5. Till now this was not considered possible, but this ‘morphing weapon’ has broken all the limits of aerodynamics.

This research was done under the leadership of Professor Wang Peng of China’s National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). It has been published in the international journal Acta Aeronautica et Astronautica Sinica. According to the report, this missile can fold or spread its wings during flight, when speed is required, the wings go inside and when the direction needs to be changed, they come out.

How does the shape change during flight?

A state-of-the-art control system (Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control) has been installed in this morphing missile. This system changes the position of the fins in real-time so that the missile can change shape while remaining stable in the air without changing its direction. That means now the missile itself does not move – its wings move automatically. This is considered to be the most difficult achievement of hypersonic aerodynamics till now.

Technology is amazing, but challenges still remain

Although this discovery of China is surprising, it still faces many difficulties. During hypersonic flight the temperature reaches 2000°C, due to which there is a risk of metal melting. The biggest challenge is to maintain thermal protection and stability. Similarly, problems like control chattering can make the missile unstable in the air.

New hope towards hypersonic passenger aircraft

Chinese experts say that this technology can help in making hypersonic passenger aircraft in the future. However, at present it is being used entirely for military purposes. Beijing is calling this technology the future foundation of its defense sector.

China’s hypersonic missile and global concern

In the 2021 military parade, China had displayed the CJ-1000 hypersonic cruise missile, which many experts are now considering to be a model related to morphing technology. It is believed that this missile can accurately target targets like stealth jets and aircraft carriers. However, the missile was shown in a sealed container, which increased the mystery surrounding its design.

A glimpse of future missile technology – Wang Peng

Professor Wang Peng said that this research is a glimpse of future hypersonic missile technology. He told that China is now working towards not only matching America and Russia, but also surpassing them. This shape-shifting weapon can completely change the global defense balance in the coming years.

China Military Parade: China’s military power is growing rapidly and recently a grand military parade held at Tiananman Square, Beijing, caught the world attention. In this parade, China demonstrated many of its advanced weapons, some of which have the ability to reach the US continent and attack.

US President Donald Trump looked extremely angry with this parade and is considering it to be a friendship and conspiracy against China, Russia and North Korea against America.

Know which are dangerous weapons with China

The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is one of the largest armies in the world. By 2025, China is estimated to have around 600 nuclear weapons, which are increasing continuously. These weapons are mainly deployed in ballistic missiles, submarines and bomber aircraft. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) DF-31A and DF-41 can reach any part of America. The DF-41 has many independent heads (MIRV) and its range is 11,000 to 15,000 kilometers. The JL-3 ballistic missile launched from the submarine can secretly attack the banks of the US. Hypersonic glide vehicle DF-17 can penetrate the American missile defense system, as it is extremely fast and manuveraged.

Air attack H-6N bomber aircraft can cover long distances and drop cruise missiles or nuclear weapons. FOBS (Fractional Orbital System) can dodge American warning systems from space and attack from the South Pole. All these weapons are part of China’s Anti-access/Area Dinyl (A2/AD) strategy, which are capable of preventing the US Navy from coming to China.

Although the US still has more than 5,000 nuclear weapons, China’s rapid growing ability is a matter of concern for global security. The DF-41 missile can reach big cities in the US like New York and Los Angeles. The JL-3 is launched from the submarine and can stay secretly near the American coasts.

Learn what are ICBM and SLBM
ICBM DF-31A/DF-41 is launched from the ground. DF-41 can carry more than 10 warheads, which can attack several goals simultaneously. Its range is so high that it can reach America in 30-40 minutes. However, the US has the ability to stop a missile defense system like THAAD.

SLBM JL-3 submarines are launched under water. This can suddenly attack America’s shores, as it is difficult to detect submarines. China currently has six such submarines and type 096 submarines are coming, in which 24 missiles can be deployed.

Hypersonic and fobs technology can also blow consciousness

Hypersonic missiles fly at five times the sound of sound, making them difficult to track. The fobs system can dodge America from space. These techniques can neutralize the American missile defense system.

Weapons demonstrated in military parade

On 3 September 2025, China organized a grand military parade on the 80th anniversary of victory over Japan in World War II. It included over 50,000 soldiers, tanks, missiles and drones. President Xi Jinping said that China is not afraid of threats. The parade featured new weapons such as DF-5C ICBM, hypersonic missiles (YJ-21, DF-17), laser air defense system and robot dog drone.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un of North Korea also joined the parade together for the first time. Other guests included the President of Iran and the Prime Minister of Pakistan. No major leaders from America and Western countries attended the parade.

Trump expressed displeasure

US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that he considers it a conspiracy against Russia, China and North Korea against America. He believes that this alliance is presenting a challenge to the US under Ukraine War and Taiwan tension. Trump described the parade as “very impressive”, but accused it of being organized to show the US.

He said that America’s help should have been mentioned in World War II, but Xi Jinping did not mention it. Along with this, Trump added his tariff policy and political context of the parade, saying that this effort to present China as a global leader highlights their foreign policy failure. Trump later said that the parade was beautiful, but it was done to show America. Kremlin dismissed the allegation of this conspiracy.

The Indian Air Force is going to exercise about a three-day (till 19-21 August) of LoC adjacent to Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday (August 19, 2025) amid the ongoing tension from Pakistan since Operation Sindoor. In this regard, the Indian Air Force has issued a notem.

This is the first time after Operation Sindoor that the Indian Air Force is going to do any exercise in Jammu and Kashmir. So far, the Air Force air exercises have been done in Gujarat and Rajasthan many times, but for the first time in the northern region.

IAF Did not give any information about exercise

No official information has been revealed by the Indian Air Force (IAF) about this exercise. But it is believed that Srinagar and Avantipura Airbase of Jammu and Kashmir can be involved in this exercise. A warning has also been issued for the areas of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh adjacent to Jammu and Kashmir in the notice to Airman (NOM) issued by the Air Force. In such a situation, it is believed that Ambala Airbase (Haryana) adjacent to Adampur, Halwara and Himachal in Punjab can also participate in exercise.

This poll will run from 1.30 pm on Tuesday (August 19) to Thursday (August 21) from 5.30 am. During this time, flying of any kind of civil or (of any other country) military aircraft in this area will be completely banned.

US Secretary of State expressed apprehension

At the same time, on Sunday (August 17, 2025), America’s Foreign Secretary (Minister) Marco Rubio feared a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Rubio had said that America, India and Pakistan are monitoring.

Pakistan’s 11 airbase in Operation Sindoor destroyed

The special thing is that since Operation Sindoor, many airbases of Pakistan have been closed and are not able to do the operation. Because the Indian Air Force had destroyed 11 airbase of Pakistan in its airstrikes. On August 16, the Pakistani Air Force issued a notice saying that Rahim Yar Khan Airbase is closed till 22 August. Because during Operation Sindoor, the runway of this airbase was destroyed by the Indian Air Force. Many feet deep pits were formed on the runway.

No fly zone declared 4,790 km in Indian Ocean region

Apart from the Air Force’s polls, India has also issued a notem for a long distance missile test on 20-21 August. In this poll, a no fly zone of about 4,790 km has been declared in the Indian Ocean region. The test will be conducted from the Odisha coast, in which a long distance missile will be fired from sites like Balasore and Abdul Kalam Island. It is estimated that this test may be for Agni-6 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) or hypersonic missile.

The US Army has deployed its long -range hypersonic missile system dark eagle in the northern region of Australia during the recently held Talisman Cabber practice. This is its first deployment abroad. The US has taken this step to combat China’s growing military influence in the Indo-Pacific region and give a strong message to its colleagues.

This missile system can fly at more than 5 speeds and is capable of accurate attacks up to a distance of about 1,725 miles. Hypersonic missiles can change their routes during flight compared to traditional ballistic missiles. This makes it difficult to stop them.
Dark Eagle System includes:

• Four mobile launchers (two missiles in each one).
• Command and Control Vehicles.
• Support vehicles, which ensure the accuracy of the target.

Its most special feature is the ability to penetrate the Anti-access/Area Dinyl (A2/AD) network, which challenges China’s current strategies.

Hypersonic competition from China and Russia
Dark eagle is deployed at a time when the US is competing with the hypersonic progress of China and Russia. China introduced its DF-17 missile system in 2019, which includes hypersonic glide vehicles. Russia has also carried forward its avanagard hypersonic glide vehicle system. Thus, America aims to bridge this technical difference and maintain military balance in the Indo-Pacific region.

Strategic message sent to Beijing
The northern region of Australia brings several sensitive Chinese installations in the operational range of dark eagle. It also includes routes leading to the Hide and Taiwan of the South China Sea. This gives America a safe and advanced aggressive position from where it can take action even after staying out of China’s reach. This step is a clear message for Beijing that the US and its allies are ready to strengthen their position in the Indo-Pacific region.

Russia has shown the world a new trailer of its military skills by testing the hypersonic missile from its fifth generation stealth fighter jet SU-57. This has been confirmed by the Chief of the Main Staff and First Deputy Commander in Chief of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Lieutenant General Alexander Maqsimatsev. He said that the SU-57 fighter aircraft is now equipped with hypersonic weapons and Russia’s aerospace forces are getting advanced and modern weapons systems every year.

He told in an interview that according to the government’s order, now modern fighter aircraft like SU-57 are being delivered and fast. Russia has been indicating to install hypersonic missiles in its jet aircraft for the past few years. In February 2023, Russia’s Tass news agency reported that a small but deadly “air-to-piece hypersonic missile” was prepared and tested for SU-57.

What is Jircon Hyperconic Missile?
Jircon is Russia’s most modern hypersonic cruise missile. It was first included in the Russian Navy in the year 2023. This missile has also been deployed in submarines. Its biggest feature is its speed and strength. Jircon’s speed is Mach 9, that is, it runs nine times at the speed of voice-at a speed of 11,000 kilometers per hour.

Its strike range is up to 1000 km, so that it can target enemy’s hideouts from a distance. Its speed and firepower is so deadly that it can cheat any air defense system. Not only this, the strength of its carnitic energy is so high that it can completely destroy the biggest warship or aircraft career.

How far Nircon is compared to Western countries?
Jircon’s capabilities are much higher than the missiles of Western countries. America’s fastest hypersonic missile is SM-6, whose speed is only Mach 3.5 and the range is limited to 450 km. At the same time, China claims that it has a missile named YJ-21, which is equal to Jircon i.e. Mach 9 speed and 1000 km range, but no country in Europe has any missile that can match Jircon. In this sense, Russia has gone beyond the world in this technology.

SU-57 and Jircon duo: Radar also cheated
SU-57 is a fighter aircraft equipped with state-of-the-art stealth technology. It is very difficult to catch it with radar. Now in this aircraft, the Jircon missile has been integrated by hiding the internal weapon bay ie inside the aircraft. This means that the enemy cannot look at this missile until it fire.

SU-57 has been prepared in such a way that it can carry out a very fast-paced distance attack. Russia has already made an air-to-air R-77M missile for this, whose range is more than 400 kilometers. Apart from this, in October 2023, Russia’s government media claimed a new long-range cruise missile test, which is based on KH-101/102 and the range of about 3500 km.

Big question for India: Will SU-57 buy?
India has recently refused to buy America’s F-35 fighter jet. In such a situation, now the defense experts are eyeing whether India will now move towards buying SU-57 of Russia? SU-57 is not only equipped with stealth technology, but now hypersonic weapons have also been added to it. If India buys this fighter jet, it can take the strength of the Indian Air Force to a new height. India and Russia have already strong defense relations and the involvement of state-of-the-art fighter jets like SU-57 can increase India’s strategic capacity manifold.

After Operation Sindoor, Pakistan may be making big claims, but India’s real power is in its high-tech technology and hypersonic weapons. India is no longer limited to traditional weapons, but it has developed such advanced systems that have the ability to respond in a moment by dodging the enemy’s radar. Whether it is hypersonic glide vehicle or deadly missiles like BrahMos-II, strategic preparation of India is now being done keeping in mind the future wars. This is the reason why India is now considered to be an edge country, not just a response.

HSTDV: Self -sufficient flight to India

Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) is India’s first and very special effort in which scramjet technology has been developed. DRDO has made it. Its biggest feature is that it blows with oxygen from the air, that is, it does not need to fill oxygen in the tank to fly. This makes the fuel less and speeds up.

It took a successful flight for the first time in 2020 and flying at the speed of Mach 6 (six times faster than sound) for about 20 seconds. Now the work of converting this technology into missile system has started. It is expected that by 2026 India will have its first hypersonic missile, which will strengthen the country’s security strength.

Brahmos-II: Next generation deadly missile

If in the supersonic era, BrahMos proved India’s military strength to the world, then its hypersonic form is going to become BrahMos-II even more deadly. A target has been set to deliver this missile to Mach 7 (ie seven times faster than the speed of voice). The special thing is that it can be launched with land, sea and air, all three platforms.

This project is being prepared by BrahMos Aerospace in collaboration with DRDO and Russia’s NPOM company. There are technical challenges, but progress is becoming fast. It is expected that by 2026 its first test flight can be done successfully.

SFDR: Game Chanceser for Air Force

The Solid Fuel Ducted Ramjet (SFDR) project is a big step towards giving India’s air power a faster and deadly edge. This technique is based on solid fuel, making it easier and more reliable for mission. The speed of SFDR can range from Mach 4.5 to Mach 6, that is, it can fly four to six times faster than the speed of voice.

This engine will be used especially in future long-range air-to-air missiles such as Astra MK3. It has been done many successful tests since 2018 and now it has reached the stage to prepare weaponization, ie as a weapon. It is expected that by 2025-26 this technology will be completely operational and will give a new strategic lead to the Indian Air Force.

Shaurya: Missile’s new speed

India’s valor missile is already stationed in the army, but now a new and more powerful hypersonic version is being prepared. It is a canister-based Tactical missile, which is launched from the ground. After the launch, it reaches the upper layer of the atmosphere and glides, which makes it very difficult to catch and stop its way.

Its speed reaches Mach 7.5, which gives it a big boost in India’s strategic capacity. Currently, it is included in a limited number of army, but the upcoming hypersonic version will be much more deadly and advanced, which will further strengthen India’s defense system in future.

HGV: the most silent but most dangerous

Now the matter of the project which is the lowest discussion, but perhaps the most dangerous can prove to be the Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) project of India. Its information is very limited and confidential, but experts believe that it is a system that will be launched from ballistic missiles. After the launch, it will glide at more than Mach 10 speed in the atmosphere and will penetrate the target with faster, accuracy and ambush than traditional missiles.

If this project is successful, then it will make India stand in equal to superpowers like America and China in terms of hypersonic weapons. Its first weaponized version can be revealed between 2028 and 2030 and it can bring revolutionary changes to India’s strategic capabilities.

How much DRDO’s annual budget?

The annual budget of DRDO ranges from around ₹ 23,000 to ₹ 25,000 crore, out of which ₹ 3,000 to ₹ 5,000 crore is being invested on hypersonic and missile techniques. These figures are clear indications that India is now not only the buyer of defense equipment, but is taking concrete and well -planned steps towards becoming a self -sufficient defense manufacturer.
