India has tested its first hypersonic missile, the country’s defence minister said, publishing a video of the super-fast high-tech weapon.
Hypersonics fly lower and are harder to detect than ballistic missiles. They can also reach targets more quickly, and can be ordered to change target in mid-flight.
"India has achieved a major milestone by successfully conducting flight trial of a long range hypersonic missile," Minister of Defence Rajnath Singh said in a statement.
