Our ancient mythological texts contain extraordinary accounts that seem unbelievable, even in today’s modern era. However, many of these ancient narratives are now validated by scientific discoveries. Researchers worldwide are accomplishing feats that were once thought impossible.

Take the Ramayana and Mahabharata, for example. These epics describe potent weapons like the Brahmastra, illusionary devils, and instantaneous travel between worlds. While these concepts don’t fully align with modern science, technological advancements bring similar ideas to life.

Recently, Indian scientists achieved a groundbreaking milestone that has amazed experts globally, including those in China and the United States. They have developed a modern 'Brahmastra’ capable of reaching an incredible speed of 12,144 km per hour. To put this into perspective, one could travel from New Delhi to Washington, D.C., in just an hour at this velocity.

The Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRAShM) is a hypersonic glide missile developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It was successfully experimented on November 16, 2023, from Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Island, located off the coast of Odisha. With a striking range of 1,500 km, this missile can destroy an enemy vessel within 7 to 8 minutes of launch. It is designed

technology with the LRAShM. Unique heat-resistant materials have been used to withstand extreme temperatures and prevent the missile from burning up mid-flight.

With the successful test of LRAShM, the Indian Navy now holds a major strategic edge in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). This missile plays a key role in countering China’s growing presence. For instance, if a warship near Pakistan’s Karachi port attempted to strike India, the LRAShM could eliminate it in just 4 to 5 minutes from Mumbai’s coastline.

India faces serious maritime challenges from China and Pakistan, making hypersonic missile technology a crucial advantage. Unlike China’s DF-17, which has a range of 1,000 km, India’s LRAShM extends to 1,500 km. Some defence analysts even suggest that India may have deliberately understated the missile’s true range for strategic purposes. With the LRAShM in its arsenal, India can target enemy ships deep within their territory before they can change course, strengthening its position as a powerful force in modern warfare.

Indian scientists have developed a modern-day ‘Brahmastra’ with an astonishing speed of 12,144 km per hour....​

There are many extraordinary things in our mythological texts that are difficult to believe, even in today’s modern world. However, many of these ancient accounts are now proving to be true. Scientists across the globe are achieving feats that were once unimaginable.

For instance, the Ramayana and Mahabharata: these epics mention concepts such as the Brahmastra, illusionary demons, and people travelling between worlds in the blink of an eye. While these ideas do not entirely align with modern science, similar advancements are now becoming a reality, thanks to scientific progress.

Before making tall claims like India being the world leader in Hypersonic Missile technology, check if your adversary fields such missiles.

I'm sure they are not sitting around waiting for India to have an edge.

Before making tall claims like India being the world leader in Hypersonic Missile technology, check if your adversary fields such missiles.

I'm sure they are not sitting around waiting for India to have an edge.

If our adversaries are also progressing , how does it undermine India's progress? Tell me one nation which has such a diverse program in hypersonic technology where numbers of hypersonic missiles are being developed and tested with in all 3 types of domains which includes powerful rocket motors using high energy file (Shaurya, K15 and other K family missiles), HGV (Brahmastra and other one tested few months back), scramjet (Brahmos II, project Vishnu, ISRO hypersonic vehicle). Now tell me which country has hypersonic missiles in all 3 catagory? US, Russia, China? Name one country with one missile in each catagory.
