The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India is advancing its defense capabilities by developing 12 hypersonic missile systems, including Hypersonic Glide Vehicles (HGVs), anti-hypersonic missiles, and hypersonic cruise missiles. This initiative positions India strategically amidst global hypersonic advancements by countries like the U.S., Russia, and China. With regional threats, these systems aim to enhance India’s deterrence and operational effectiveness across various combat scenarios. While challenges in technology and production remain, the DRDO’s prior successes indicate that operational systems could emerge in the next 5-10 years, reinforcing India’s commitment to maintaining a robust defense posture.
