Hypersonic Missile Attack In Ukraine: Hypersonic Missile Race

Hypersonic Missile Attack in Ukraine: Hypersonic attack in Ukraine, how dangerous is this missile, does India have this capability?

Hypersonic missile attack in Ukraine: The war between Russia and Ukraine has now turned into a world war.

On Saturday, the Russian military launched an attack against Ukraine with supersonic hypersonic missiles.

The Russian Defense Ministry itself claimed on Saturday that they destroyed a large underground warehouse containing ammunition for Ukrainian missiles.

Also aircraft from the Kinzel Aviation Missile System along with hypersonic aeroballistic missiles.

This is the first time in the Russia-Ukraine war when hypersonic weapons have been used. Recently, the news of competition between superpowers to acquire hypersonic missiles was in the news.

Especially this missile has been in discussion between America and China. What is a hypersonic missile after all? Why is this missile dangerous?

How do you create this devastation? Which countries in the world have this dangerous weapon? Has India achieved this capability?

What is a hypersonic missile after all?

The hypersonic missile is counted as a super destructive weapon. Hypersonic refers to missiles that move towards their target while flying at a speed five times the speed of sound.

However, hypersonic weapons do not get their special status by their speed. The hypersonic missile is the most advanced missile technology in the last three decades.

Under this, a vehicle first takes the missile into space. After this, the missiles move towards the target so fast that anti-missile systems cannot track and destroy them.

A ballistic missile also runs at hypersonic speed, but when it is launched from one place, it is known where it will fall. In such a situation, these missiles are easy to track.

Apart from this, the direction of these missiles cannot be changed after launching the ballistic missile. Change of direction of hypersonic missile is possible.

This missile is capable of changing its direction according to the strategy of the enemy country. These missiles move towards their target at hypersonic speed in the atmosphere.

Hypersonic anti-missiles are not caught by the defense system. That’s why it becomes more dangerous. Missiles equipped with this technology can be guided after launch.

These missiles do not even come under the radar. This creates confusion regarding the target of these missiles.

India has hypersonic weapons technology.

India is also working on the technology of hypersonic weapons. India has already tested it. DRDO successfully test-fired hypersonic speed flight of unmanned scramjet in the year 2020.

It is called Hypersonic Technology Demonstration Vehicle.

India’s Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) was test-fired in less than 20 seconds. Its speed was 7500 km per hour, but it can be increased or decreased in the future.

Since China is equipped with this technology, India is developing it under its security and strategic strategy.

The hypersonic missile race.

Defense sector expert says that after the Cuban crisis, the world has understood that if one country runs nuclear weapons, then another country can also run it.

Because of this, both can be destroyed. Because of this, many treaties were signed and nuclear war could be avoided.

In the year 2001, the US started making anti-missile defense systems by withdrawing itself from the ABM treaty.

America’s argument was that it is making a defense system to protect itself from countries like North Korea. After this China and Russia also started work on the hypersonic missile.

Russia and China took this step because if America can protect itself with a missile system, then our missile will be such that it will reach the target by dodging the interceptor.

If a war-torn country launches a hypersonic missile, then in a delusional situation, a nuclear-powered nation can launch a nuclear warhead on its own.

Considering the hypersonic missile to be equipped with a nuclear warhead. Due to this, nuclear war can start even if both countries do not want to.
