What are supersonic missiles? 

Supersonic missiles are advanced weapon systems designed to travel faster than the speed of sound, which is approximately 343 meters per second (1,235 kilometres per hour) at sea level.

This speed is measured as Mach 1, and supersonic missiles typically operate in the range of Mach 1 to Mach 5.

About supersonia Missile

India has tested its first long ranged supersonic missiles. Special thing about the missile is that it is developed indigenously by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). This missile is capable of carrying the payload  and exceeding 1500 kilometers. This has enabled India to stand among big names like the US, Russia , China that possess the most advanced hypersonic capabilities.

Successful Testing done

The missile was test fired  on 16th November from APJ Abdul Kalam Island as a part of the aimed trials to enhance the defence system. Its testing clearly presented its capabilities of reaching the speed between Mach 5 and Mach 20 .

Strategic Importance 

Developments like these mark a significant advancement in India’s defence capabilities. These missile systems enhance India’s border defence and strengthen its position in the region, supporting national security and regional influence. It represents the nation’s growing defence capabilities and technological advancement.
