PLAAN will be using YJ 21 Hypersonic ballistic missile to counter Indian aircraft carrier battlegroup from far away with these missile be a dominating force against Indian naval muscle.

A hypersonic ballistic missile is well under the interception optics of Barak-8/MR-SAM. "Dominating" is a big reach. The Chinese are a long way from making something like the Zircon, something DRDO is already developing.

Sir china already developed Hypersonic ballistic missile decade ago they have differentvarients from land air and sea if there were no varients I would have doubted but Indian Hypersonic is still needs decades to develop because Russia did not TOT to India for zircon and brahmos India developed just because Russia transfered the tech to India no way in hell India could get hand on brahmos development without Russian help Hypersonic tech is much more complex even USA having problem to develop them

Well, Americans' ESSEM missile which was developed to handle Russian supersonic cruise missiles (Mach 3) has Mach 4 max speed. Our India friends believe that a missile with Mach 2 speed can handle hypersonic ballistic missile, interesting.

All P5 countries and India have hypersonic ballistic missiles for a decade.
You must be talking about hypersonic cruise missiles.

You don't need high speed to shoot down a missile that is heading towards you. In fact lower speed often means that your final stage interceptor is more maneuverable. Also the fact that it is ballistic means that you will see it much earlier than a sea skimming cruise missile.

Having a hypersonic ballistic missile isn't really a big deal. Most longer range ballistic missiles are hypersonic. Having the sensor to guide a ballistic missile to a moving target is the real challenge.

Barak-8 is Mach 3+. There are news of Barak-8 shooting down Iskander M. What's really interesting is some people here believe intercepting a short-medium range ballistic missile is a hard task for a country like India. If the chinese can come up with a maneuverable hypersonic cruise missiles on their ships, that'd be news. There is currently no missile in service onboard any chinese ship that can't be intercepted by Indian ships. Actual combat scenario and scope of saturation are different things.

Matlab kuch bhi
Ig U r speaking about cruise missile then we don't need Russians here
Go and read first
Russians are not reluctant in ToT bcoz ToT gives u nothing
Yeah I can understand u porkies can never understand what type of chutiyapa is ToT
Coming to CM fir that U need hypersonic tech that u can get from Russia at high price along with 0 tech only assembly or almost parts manufacturing of scramjet propulsion
Or other option is build your demonstrator and then make a CM based on it here u can have the tech and manufacturing
Just check how many tests have hstdv has conducted
U will know why bharmos hypersonics is not being made or developed

Barak-8 will be intercepting from the front not chasing it from behind.

Think logically before you type.
Looks like chinese are also suffering from shallow knowledge like their Paki brethren.

09:25 the CNS says the plan for Vikrant includes LCA-N, does that mean there is a chance of some production LCA-N being ordered (in very limited numbers) I wonder? Would be weird to mention the NPs as they aren’t IN assets and aren’t combat machines either
