India successfully tested a hypersonic missile-capable vehicle Monday that can move at 6 times the speed of sound. It plans to develop such a missile in 5 yrs.
Audience data shows there are now more fans outside South Korea than at home. Like hip hop, there’s no reason why K-Pop can’t have a similarly inclusive trajectory while staying true to its core.
Research paper, however, finds lowest indebtedness level among Muslims at 12.3% & highest among Hindus at 14.9%. Overall national financial inclusion level at 87.2%, indebtedness at 14.7%.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Well said Santosh. And also for civilian space use i.e launching satellites
India’s growing thirst for achieving the maximum in both nuclear and missile developments is creating a more reformed form of instability paradigm in the region. It’s deep and intense , poised to grow even more concentrated. The developments are mounting and vulnerabilities are increasing. Now interestingly, India is downplaying by joining the Hague code of Conduct (HCoC) against Ballistic Missile proliferation in Vienna. This is an agreement under which legally non-binding confidence building and transparency measures are taken that seek to stop the proliferation of ballistic missiles capable of delivering weapons of mass destruction.
India’s current focus on millitary technology is solely due to blatant expansion of the CCP. Had the PLA not tried to change the status quo India would not have done anything like this.
Not at all.. India’s preparations for China across the border, are quite independent of this test. India has been researching hypersonic technology for many years now. It tested a vehicle in 2019, which was only partly successful. It’s much more to do with India not wanting to be behind the advanced countries of the world. There is also a very strong commercial/civilian dimension to the technology- you can send satellites into space
Rashi, you sound like some American or British think tank analyst .Cold and detached. India is no violator or villain, not by a country kilometre! India is doing this for itself, for both the defense and space sectors.
The prospects of the global arms control regime, to stop hypersonic proliferation seems to be very less likely. This is also evident from the abandonment of the INF Treaty, the ABM Treaty, and the likely fate of New START. Similarly, India’s likely acquisition of hypersonic weapons along with its other counterforce preemptive capabilities vis-à-vis Pakistan would disturb the strategic stability of South Asia. Though Pakistan’s threat perception is mainly inclined towards India, it has relied on a credible nuclear deterrence approach.
Except for a tiny little detail. India is not thinking solely about “South Asia”. India has to consider China and North Korea. India is also not only thinking of military applications of this technology. There is very much a civilian use of the technology for satellite launching.
This is an excellent achievement. All kudos to DRDO and the companies that made it happen.
Strongly encourage india to build the best defense systems.
India is always known to make peace and will use the weapons for self defense and threats.
