India making 12 types of hypersonic missiles, can attack Pakistan, China within..., missiles are developed by...
Project Vishnu: In recent years, India has not only strengthened its armed forces with high-tech weaponry but also established itself as one of the leading defence arms exporters in the world. As the country shares its borders with Pakistan and China, it has to increase its military prowess to safeguard itself from any threat. Taking a big leap in the hypersonic race, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is working on a project that has given sleepless nights to its neighbouring enemies. The most advanced hypersonic missile project of the country has been named Project Vishnu. The hypersonic missiles under this project are being developed with completely indigenous technology. It has the power to change the balance of power in all of Asia. Does Project Vishnu Have the Power to Change the Balance of Power Across Asia?
DRDO, known for making lethal weapons for the Indian Armed Forces, is working on India's most advanced hypersonic missile project to date. The missiles being developed under Project Vishnu will be built using completely indigenous technology.
Missiles such as ET-LDHCM being built under Project Vishnu is capable of touching the speed of Mach 8 (about 11,000 kmph). With this, India will join the elite group including US, China and Russia that can build hypersonic weapons on their own. Does Project Vishnu Include An Interceptor Missile?
Under Project Vishnu, the DRDO will make not one but 12 different types of hypersonic missile systems simultaneously. These 12 hypersonic missiles will have attacking missiles as well as interceptor missiles to intercept and destroy the enemy's cruise or ballistic missiles. It means it also includes air defence.
DRDO aims to develop hypersonic glide vehicles before 2030. With this capability, India will have the power to target any part of Pakistan at hypersonic speed. Because of the hypersonic speed It is almost impossible to stop these missiles. How Many Countries Have Hypersonic Missile Technology?
So far only three countries in the world have hypersonic missile technology the are – United States, Russia and China. India will also join the league very soon. The missiles being developed under Project Vishnu are capable of carrying conventional or nuclear warheads weighing 1000 to 2000 kg. Can These Missiles Be Fired From Anywhere?
The ET-LDHCM missile program has a powerful scramjet engine for hypersonic capabilities. It has undergone initial testing by DRDO. This missile system is designed for launch from mobile platforms such as trucks, aircraft, and naval vessels.
Development of a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) missile is progressing rapidly. As per media reports, the missile will have a range of approx 2,000 km and has sophisticated navigation technology, making it almost impossible for even China's most advanced air defences to intercept it.

BRICS' declaration likely to include Pahalgam attack
New Delhi: The BRICS summit leaders' declaration on July 7 under Brazil's presidency could include references to the Pahalgam attack and global terror infrastructure, people aware of the development told ET. This will be a boost for India, which is trying to rally the international community toward joint action on terrorism. ET has learnt that after intense negotiations in the run-up to the summit, the BRICS grouping — Brazil, Russia, India, Russia, China, South Africa, Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia and Indonesia — has agreed to include most of India's references to the Pahalgam terror attack in the leaders' statement. An official of one of the BRICS member states, who did not wish to be named, said that the group has always found a mechanism to arrive at a consensus and produce a common language or approach on critical issues like terrorism. Another official said BRICS is working on a formulation that conveys its stance on international the recent defence ministers' meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), only one country blocked any reference to the Kashmir terror attack, external affairs minister S Jaishankar had remarked, without naming Pakistan. India did not sign the joint statement and, therefore, the document could not be Minister Narendra Modi, who will reach Rio de Janeiro for the BRICS summit on July 5 — his third stop in the five-nation tour — will emphasise the need for a strong anti-terror formulation by the BRICS in his interventions at the summit, ET has learnt. India will take over the BRICS presidency from Brazil after the Rio Summit. In June, the parliaments of BRICS nations had strongly condemned the Pahalgam terrorist attack and agreed to cooperate on a policy of zero tolerance against terrorism. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla had led the Indian delegation to the 11th BRICS Parliamentary Forum in Brasilia on June 4-5. Besides the Pahalgam terror attack, India's leadership in the BRICS Startup Forum is also likely to be adopted by the leaders. The BRICS Startup Forum aims to promote cross-border collaboration among the member nations through entrepreneurial activities. The BRICS Startup Knowledge Hub was launched on January 31 this year as part of the Startup Forum. The BRICS Startup Knowledge Hub (microsite) is the first-ever BRICS Startup Knowledge Repository, which lays the foundation for multilateral cooperation and engagement among the BRICS countries to develop startup ecosystems. The Knowledge Hub will serve as a one-stop gateway to the BRICS startup ecosystem, offering valuable insights into the entrepreneurial landscapes of the member countries. Besides the BRICS summit, Modi will make a state visit to Brazil, and the two nations are expected to conclude several pacts, including in the areas of defence and is likely to meet other BRICS leaders on the sidelines of the summit, including from South Africa, Indonesia, the UAE, Ethiopia and possibly Iran, besides the BRICS partner countries.
