#WATCH | ANI National Security Summit 2.0: DRDO Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat says, "For short-range ballistic missiles, the Pralay is now in the final stages of testing. With respect to hypersonic, we are working on two programs, the hypersonic glide missile and the hypersonic cruise missiles. The glide missile will come out first. We should be doing the first trials fairly soon. And that is at a more advanced stage than the cruise missile. The cruise missile program has not yet been sanctioned, although we are working on the various technologies which will get into the cruise missile..." "For short-range ballistic missiles, the Pralay is now in the final stages of testing and should be ready. Then we have some of our strategic missiles, which can be converted to tactical usage for the medium range and the long range. With respect to hypersonic, we are working on two programs, the hypersonic glide missile and the hypersonic cruise missiles. The hypersonic cruise missiles is one which has a scramjet engine and it is powered during its flight. The hypersonic glide missile is a missile which uses a booster to give it initial velocity, and then it just glides without any powering. The glide missile will come out first. We should be doing the first trials fairly soon. And that is at a more advanced stage than the cruise missile. The cruise missile program has not yet been sanctioned, although we are working on the various technologies which will get into the cruise missile. Recently, we have done a scramjet propulsion for more than 1,000 seconds. So that's been a major achievement, and once the program is sanctioned, we'll convert the scramjet propulsion into a working missile system. And I think that should take about five years after the sanction."

🚨🇨🇳 U.S. NAVY IN PANIC: CHINA ARMS ITS MAIN DESTROYER CLASS WITH YJ-20 HYPERSONIC MISSILES New PLA footage has shown a Type 052D destroyer launching the YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missile for the first time publicly. Previously demonstrated aboard the larger Type 055, the weapon has now reached the class that forms the backbone of China’s surface fleet. 🔸 The YJ-20 is a boost-glide weapon capable of speeds above Mach 5, with its range estimated at up to 1,500 km. Its manoeuvring bi-conic glide body can strike ships at a steep, near-vertical angle, making interception far more difficult. 🔸 The missile was cold-launched from one of the Type 052D’s 64 universal vertical-launch cells, ejecting above the ship before its motor ignited. 🔸 More than 35 Type 052Ds are already in service, with additional ships under construction. Unlike the smaller Type 055 fleet, these destroyers are produced in large numbers and routinely operate across the South China Sea and Western Pacific. 🔸 The YJ-20 does not need to replace the YJ-18. A mixed load allows Chinese destroyers to combine long-range hypersonic attacks with sea-skimming cruise missiles, forcing carrier defenses to confront different speeds, trajectories and approach angles. 🔸 This is what makes the integration more important than a single launch. Hypersonic anti-ship firepower can now spread beyond China’s largest destroyers to a far more numerous class, creating more launch platforms and attack directions. 🔸 The Pentagon’s leaked Overmatch brief found that American warships such as the Gerald R. Ford were often destroyed in Taiwan war games. Giving China’s primary destroyer class a hypersonic carrier-killer makes those scenarios even harder for the U.S. Navy. The threat is no longer one rare missile aboard a handful of large warships. It is China’s mass-produced destroyer fleet gaining the ability to attack U.S. carrier groups from extreme range. What threatens U.S. carriers more: the YJ-20’s speed or the number of ships that can launch it?

Japan plans to reclaim its status as a great power over the next decade The country buildup goes far beyond next-generation submarines. By 2028, HVGP Block 1 and Block 2 will be fully operational with ranges up to 2,000 km. Ir means maneuverable hypersonic weapons in service within 2–3 years. Not only this, but a submarine-launched variant reaching 3,000 km is planned for the early 2030s, along with a new stealth modular hypersonic anti-ship missile (2,000+ km). Type 12 missiles are being upgraded to 1,000–1,500 km, deployable from ships, aircraft, and ground batteries. This is complemented by mass production of indigenous long-range cruise missiles, delivery of ~400–500 Tomahawks, and full JASSM-ER/LRASM/JSM integration on the F-35 fleet. Submarines: 24–25 modern SSKs Surface fleet: 12 Mogami-class frigates, 2–3 ASEV super-destroyers (128–160 VLS each), plus 8–12 new multi-role destroyers by 2035, all equipped with the co-developed Glide Phase Interceptor for anti-hypersonic defense. total 58–64 modern combat ships. Air force: 140–150 F-35s + GCAP 6th-gen fighter entering service in 2035. Japan is simultaneously equipping the Philippines with radars, patrol vessels, and command systems, setting the stage for much deeper military cooperation. Looking the space to become a major player in the region. Within ten years Japan will field hypersonic strike weapons with 1,000–3,000+ km range, ahead of any western county, with operational glide-phase interception capability against hypersonic threats. Japan is back.
