The DRDO successfully conducted a 120-second ground test of an active-cooled scramjet combustor, marking a significant advancement in hypersonic missile technology. Hypersonic missiles, capable of travelling at speeds greater than Mach 5, can evade modern air defences. The Defense Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) is spearheading these efforts to develop next-generation hypersonic weapons. India joins nations like the US, Russia, and China in pushing the boundaries of advanced weaponry, positioning itself as a key player in this strategic defence sector.
