DRDO’s Project Dhvani: Dreams often come true only for those who continuously strive to fulfill them. America, which is considered a symbol of power across the world, is also struggling to make hypersonic missiles. But India, which was once considered lagging behind the world in terms of technological capability, is today challenging the entire world by developing 3 super missiles each.
Hypersonic Missile under Project Dhvani
The country which was lagging behind in technological capability is today counted among the leaders in the world. The credit for this goes to the passion of Indian scientists and the hard work of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO). DRDO scientists have created such hypersonic weapons under Project Dhvani, which are now impossible to stop.
Hypersonic missiles are faster than the speed of sound
Actually, hypersonic missiles are those weapons which attack their targets by flying at a speed five times faster than the speed of sound i.e. 6,200 per hour. Due to their high speed and the characteristic of flying at low altitude, these hypersonic missiles become extremely dangerous, which no radar can detect. This hypersonic technology of DRDO is completely indigenous. Hypersonic missile is launched through rocket engine and flies in the atmosphere at a speed of 6 to 7 Mach. At the same time, it is capable of carrying payload in a range of more than 1,500 kilometers.
Hypersonic missile is very useful for all three armies of India
Due to its ability to fly 5 times faster than the speed of sound and not be detected by any radar, this hypersonic missile is very useful for all three armies of India (Army, Navy and Air Force). In this, scramjet engine is used in the missile, which maintains the speed of the missile during flight. India’s BrahMos-2 is a perfect example of this hypersonic technology. Let us tell you that DRDO is currently working on three different designs.
Pakistan and China are no better now
It is noteworthy that India once accidentally fired a BrahMos missile towards Pakistan, which Pakistan could not track. At the same time, now the defense systems of not only Pakistan but also China and America seem completely helpless in front of the hypersonic missiles of BrahMos-2 and Project Dhvani. While America has not been able to make its hypersonic program successful till now, India along with Russia has mastered this technology.
