A scramjet cannot operate from a standstill. It first needs a powerful booster to accelerate the vehicle to very high supersonic/hypersonic speeds before the scramjet can ignite. That is why HSTDV was mounted on an Agni-derived booster, which accelerated the vehicle to the required speed and altitude before the scramjet took over. The same principle is used in other hypersonic programmes worldwide, including Russia’s Zircon, where a rocket booster brings the missile into the scramjet’s operating envelope. The concept of encapsulating a scramjet vehicle inside a booster and triggering the engine only after the required speed and flight conditions are achieved is not easy to grasp for those new to defence technology.

What we need to appreciate right now is the way the area warning was used. A 350 km warning zone was issued for the NASM-MR test, and the same warning area appears to have accommodated a lofted ballistic missile target profile, covering both endo-atmospheric and exo-atmospheric engagement regimes.

WOW WOW!! Out of the blue! Just super 😍😍😍 India's SMPP Completes Delivery of 106 Jet Based Kamikaze Drones 'Agniveg' to Indian Army The delivery follows successful user trials in which the Peacekeeper (Agniveg) demonstrated a Circular Error Probable (CEP) of less than 5 metres showcasing an operational range of about 180 kms, while operating in a heavily jammed and spoofed environment. Ashish Kansal, CEO & Director, SMPP: "The system bridges the capability gap between conventional artillery and long-range missile systems, providing commanders with a new layer of precision strike capability". More news as we get it....!!

Fourth S-400 squadron reaches India. But that's not the big news. Solar Industries is the DcPP of the Project Kusha. Now, that's the actual news.

The earliest induction of the first P-75I is possible only in 2033. Now, the indigenous P-76 must be persuaded with a greater zeal. The first order is expected by 2028. And the P-76 must be given the priority. Only then we might witness simultaneous deliveries.
