This surface-to-surface missile is being hailed as a &#8220;silent killer&#8221; due to its staggering speed of 2.5 km per second. Once inducted, it will place India among an elite group of nations possessing hyper-advanced strike capabilities, leaving traditional air defense systems obsolete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary edge of the Shaurya NG is its hypersonic velocity, traveling at over seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7). At such speeds, enemy radars struggle to track the projectile, and interception becomes nearly impossible. What makes Shaurya NG even more lethal is its high maneuverability; it can change its flight path during the terminal phase, making it unpredictable for any anti-ballistic missile system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to DRDO sources, the Shaurya NG is a nuclear-capable missile with an enhanced range compared to its predecessor. Amidst rising geopolitical tensions, this missile serves as a powerful deterrent. It is designed for &#8220;surgical precision,&#8221; capable of annihilating strategic targets, underground bunkers, and command centers with pinpoint accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The defense ministry is maintaining high confidentiality regarding the test schedule, but reports suggest a launch from the Odisha coast is imminent. The development of Shaurya NG is not just a milestone for DRDO but a significant leap for the &#8216;Make in India&#8217; initiative in the defense sector. The sheer speed and power of this new-age weapon have already sent ripples of concern across the defense establishments of India&#8217;s adversaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India is on the verge of a massive breakthrough in missile technology as DRDO gears up for the test-firing of its &#8216;Shaurya NG&#8217; (Next Generation) hypersonic missile.
