The Silbervogel was the first design for a hypersonic weapon and was developed by German scientists in the 1930s, but was never constructed. [6]The ASALM (Advanced Strategic Air-Launched Missile) was a medium-range strategic missile program developed in the late 1970s for the United States Air Force; the missile's development reached the stage of propulsion-system testing, test-flown to Mach 5 ...
The Hwasong-12B is a single-stage missile, powered by a liquid-propelled engine. It is carried by 6-axle transporter erector launcher.Although Hwasong-12B has never test-fired before, it is believed to be a intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), [3] with an assumed range of over 6,000 km (3,700 mi).
The missile was successfully test-fired for the third time, from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha, on Saturday 24 September 2011, in its final configuration. The missile flew at 7.5 Mach, and covered its full range of 700 km in 500 seconds. After this test, the missile is ready for production and induction into the Navy. [1]
Russia launched its first large-scale missile assault on Ukrainian cities for several weeks in the early hours of Thursday 9 March, firing at least 81 missiles and killing at least five people.
The under development missile was first mentioned in the 2023 Year End Review of the Ministry of Defence, and was named Long Range – Anti Ship Missile (LRAShM). [22] In 2024, it was reported that the LRAShM and its land-based variant would form a part of the proposed Integrated Rocket Force along with Pralay, BrahMos, Nirbhay and Pinaka MBRL.
A hypersonic weapon is a weapon capable of travelling at hypersonic speed, defined as between 5 and 25 times the speed of sound or about 1 to 5 miles per second (1.6 to 8.0 km/s). The main article for this category is Hypersonic weapon .
Hypersonic missiles can change course to avoid detection and anti-missile defenses. U.S. Air Force graphicRussia used a hypersonic missile against a Ukrainian arms depot in the western part of the ...
