India to have Sudarshan Chakra-like missile soon

Loitering capability, no matter how advance, do not mean that it can drop its warhead and come back to get ready to go again :)
So if this is actually ANYTHING, it cant be a missile for sure.
may be it'll be one of the variants of the hypersonic missile just like Nirbhay(subsonic) will also have a similar UCAV type features in one of its advanced variants while usually it'll be used as a missle only:)
 
Well, I was talking about the closest possibility. As I didnt believe that claim by the makers. Though they are working on reusable vehicles but its not something that will be available in near future.



Dont take this news seriously, DRDO+Indian defense journalism is a deadly combo..
well brother what ever im saying is nothing from DODO/Paid media/defence journalism or any thing i have my own sources :cheers:

honestly i will send it back to india by DHL FEDEX on ministry of defence adress

Dua karo ki aesa ho, aur wahan kuch log lule langde banjayen, kuch log hein in Indian MOD!!
 
Dr Pillai’s ultimate dream is to establish a military industry complex which can provide all the weapons in the country. “We could be a self-reliant country in missile technology, but for that we need industry support,” he said.

A military-Industrial complex doesn't come cheap! We would need to pump in thousands of crores per year for R&D. For eg, US Black Projects spearheaded by Boeing's Phantom Works and Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works, gobble up billion of dollars a year in R&D alone to produce an effective weapon system. Part of the funding is even above US Congressional oversight as these are above top secret programs.

Examples are the top secret Aurora, Apple Seed and Nautilus craft that fly at many times Mach and capable of 'flying' in deep space too!

Let's hope the GoI pumps up the budget for R&D which at present is a pathetic 0.8% of its GDP compared to the US which is almost 3% and Japan 3.7%. We spend even less than Hungary! :frown:

According to the Hindu scriptures, Sudarshan Chakra is the ultimate weapon of Lord Vishnu used for the destruction of enemy. The best part is it comes back to its original place after destructing the target.

The myth will now be reality.

In next few years, India will have its own Sudarshan Chakra-like deadly hypersonic potent missile.

BrahMos Aerospace India Ltd (BAIL) is currently working on BrahMos II programme where scientists have taken inspiration from Lord Vishnu’s weapon. Going at a speed of Mach 7, the missile would deliver the warhead, assess the destruction of target, come back and get ready to go again.

Talking to Headlines Today, Dr A Sivathanu Pillai, CEO and MD for BAIL, said, “It is our dream to make the best weapon. Our mythology has given us a lot of inputs. Out of all gods, only one weapon is moving and is ready to go in nanoseconds at the command of mind. It destroys the enemy and comes back, and that is Sudarshan Chakra.”

Dr Pillai, considered to be the father of the world’s fastest supersonic BrahMos cruise missile project, adds, “We have established a lead in supersonic missile. Definitely our country and its scientific community are capable of developing a hypersonic missile which is reusable. With technology changing every day and a sort of information war beginning in the world, there is a possibility of mind operating machines. Hypersonic vehicles with multi-use will reduce the cost putting payload in the orbit. It could deliver the payload at multiple points and it can come back. That is what we have thought of as our own version of Sudarshan Chakra.”

According to Dr Pillai, India will get this hypersonic missile in the next 5-7 years. At present, BAIL is working on the air-to-air missile, which should get ready by the end of 2014.

Dr Pillai’s ultimate dream is to establish a military industry complex which can provide all the weapons in the country. “We could be a self-reliant country in missile technology, but for that we need industry support,” he said.

The Hindu : National : Kalam for developing BrahMos' hypersonic version

Kalam for developing BrahMos' hypersonic version

"You should develop a hypersonic version of BrahMos which can be reused... meaning that the missile should be able to deliver its payload and return to base. This will help in maintaining our leadership in this arena,” he said at a function to mark the 10th anniversary of the launch of BrahMos missile.

Brahmos mini has more importance, since it offers all forces with a higher number of plattform to use Brahmos. Brahmos 2 is good for the future, but these promised timelines in front of the media doesn't mean much.

Do you really think its reusable or they are mixing the things?
