- India is preparing to test its most advanced indigenously developed hypersonic missile — the Extended Trajectory-Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile (ET-LDHCM).
- The ET-LDHCM boasts a top speed of Mach 8 (approximately 11,000 km/h).
- It can deliver the swift and devastating strikes deep into the enemy territory, including targets in China and Pakistan.
- With this capability, India joins a group of countries, including the United States, China, and Russia, that have achieved operational success in hypersonic weapons technology.
- The missile can carry the warheads weighing between 1,000 and 2,000 kg over a range of approximately 1,500 km.
- It is powered by a scramjet engine which sustains the hypersonic speeds using the atmospheric oxygen, allowing for longer flight durations.
