Think & Discuss
Hypersonic Weapons: The Next Frontier in Strategic Deterrence
Context from today’s quiz: DRDO is developing ‘Dhvani’, a Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) capable of speeds exceeding Mach 6 (~7,400 km/h) with an estimated range of 6,000–10,000 km. The first flight is planned by end-2025. Meanwhile, Pakistan tested its Fatah-4 cruise missile with a 750 km range, highlighting the evolving strategic landscape in South Asia.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
Hypersonic weapons travel at speeds exceeding Mach 5, making them extremely difficult to detect and intercept. Major powers like the US, Russia, China, and now India are racing to develop these systems. They could fundamentally alter strategic calculations by dramatically reducing response times in a conflict scenario.
Will India’s investment in hypersonic technology strengthen deterrence and regional stability, or could it trigger an accelerated arms race in South Asia?
Will India’s investment in hypersonic technology strengthen deterrence and regional stability, or could it trigger an accelerated arms race in South Asia?
- How should India balance offensive hypersonic capabilities with investments in hypersonic defence systems?
- Should there be international treaties limiting hypersonic weapon development, similar to nuclear non-proliferation efforts?
- What implications do hypersonic weapons have for India’s No First Use (NFU) nuclear doctrine and second-strike capability?
