How Extended Trajectory – Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile boosts India’s deterrence ?

General

During Operation Sindoor, approximately 15 BrahMos missiles, launched from Su-30 MKI fighters and ground platforms, struck Pakistani Air Force bases, causing significant damage to runways, command centers, and radar sites.None of the missiles were intercepted.For example, Nur Khan Air Base, which is located in Rawalpindi, adjacent to the capital city of Islamabad, holding immense strategic significance for Pakistan’s military was struck by BrahMos even though the Chinese origin HQ-9P air defense system was stationed there.While BrahMos is a pretty impressive weapon, another weapon with far more lethality is taking shape.India has reportedly conducted a test of a new hypersonic missile capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 8—eight times the speed of sound—and striking targets at distances of up to 1,500 kilometers (approximately 930 miles). Known as the Extended Trajectory Long Duration Hypersonic Cruise Missile (ET-LDHCM), the weapon is being developed under the Defence Research and Development Organization’s (DRDO) Project Vishnu.
