Opinion: India Challenges Big Powers In Missile Race With Successful Hypersonic Test

The test is poised to be transformative: existing missile defence systems are ineffective against such high-speed projectiles, which means they missile can strike targets without interception.

India’s successful test of a hypersonic missile system this month significantly strengthens its missile capabilities and bolsters its strategic deterrence posture. In the context of rapidly advancing military technologies, hypersonic missiles are poised to represent the pinnacle of missile warfare until the advent of next-generation missile defence systems. India, in conjunction with other leading military nations, is transitioning from the era of supersonic to hypersonic technology.
