A missile so quick that enemies are virtually helpless against it. A missile which might even overwhelm defence systems of the United States of America. A missile which flies at more than 5 times the speed of sound. Such dreaded weapons are called hypersonic missiles, and India is likely to build one in the next 5 to 6 years.
This major announcement was made by Atul Rane, CEO and MD of BrahMos Aerospace, the India-Russia joint venture which makes the highly-effective BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The BrahMos Aerospace executive said that the company is capable of building hypersonic weapons, and the first one should be ready by 2027-28.
Hypersonic missiles fly at least at Mach 5, i.e. five times the speed of sound. These can be manoeuvred unlike ballistic missiles. There are two types of hypersonic weapons. Hypersonic glide vehicles are launched from rockets before gliding to hit their target. The other type is a hypersonic cruise missile which has an engine. These scramjet engines power hypersonic missiles to their targets at unbelievable speeds.

Hypersonic weapons have multiple advantages. They provide a long-range strike option to forces, and can be used against protected or time-critical targets. Hypersonic missiles are also undetectable by ground-based radar till late in their flight path. This delay in detection makes interception of the missile difficult. This feature can be used to overcome enemies' missile defence systems.
Hypersonic weapons were recently in news when Russia claimed to have used its Kinzhal missile for the first time in conflict. The Kinzhal, which means 'dagger' in Russia, can reportedly fly at up to ten times the speed of sound, and can carry a 480-kg nuclear payload.
China has also reportedly developed hypersonic weapons. In a test-firing in August 2021, the Chinese hypersonic missile circumnavigated the globe before landing near its target.
USA, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia are also reportedly developing such weapons.

Amid the Russia-Ukraine war, and Moscow's multiple nuclear warnings, a US Senator claimed that America is falling behind India, Russia, and China in hypersonic technologies.
A hypersonic missile flies at at least five times the speed of sound, or Mach 5, and can be manoeuvred, unlike ballistic missiles which follow a prescribed trajectory.
Senator Jack Reed, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee reportedly said on March 23, "We're in a situation where we have technological improvements. We used to dominate technology. That's no longer the case. Hypersonic, clearly, China and India, Russia have advantages on it."
The comments were reportedly made during the nomination hearing of Dr William LaPlante, to be undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment. In his opening remarks, LaPlante reportedly said, "“China, our pacing threat; an increasingly authoritarian Russia focused on regional hegemony; malign actors; and other existential threats pose grave risks to the global order and threaten our way of life."

India on Monday joined the elite club of countries that have developed and successfully tested the hypersonic technology. Only US, Russia and China have achieved this feat so far.&nbsp;The achievement has paved the way for development of missiles travelling at six times the speed of sound. The test of Hypersonic Test Demonstrator Vehicle, developed by DRDO was conducted on Monday at the APJ Abdul Kalam testing range in Odisha's Balasore. The test lasted for five minutes using Agni missile booster. At 11.03 am, an Agni missile booster took the hypersonic vehicle to height of 30 km after which the latter separated. Thereafter, the vehicle&rsquo;s air intake opened and that led to successfully firing of the test scramjet engine. The combustion lasted for more than 20 seconds with the vehicle achieving a speed of six Mach.
