Will this be the equivalent of Zircon?

Zircon has a sustained speed of 5 Mach + and is designed for both land based and anti ship missions.
I wonder if our missle too can achieve these speeds throughout or only at the terminal phase.

Zircon is a Hypersonic Cruise Missile. This is a hypersonic Quasi Ballistic Missile.

Sorry for the question, but does this mean a scramjet engine was successfully tested for a long duration?

No

Enough of utter chaos going on this thread since morning...let me too contribute one last time in this

What have been tested is more or less just a ground launched, ER version of Rudram-III. PERIOD

• There's isn't any absolute contemporary to this that I can compare it to, just like SMART.
• The closest in terms of concept would be the Aster-15/30 but again, those are SAMs.
• The closest in terms of concept among Ballistic Missiles would be Rudram-III
• Neither an air-breathing thing like HSTDV
• Nor a glide vehicle as we all had earlier assumed from that single cutaway pic. (Side note; whoever made that model/cutaway should be tried for treason)
• Just a simple Rudram-III like set-up where you've a booster that separate after initial launch and then the missile continues with its own motor
• Wings are minimalistic and helps more in countering roll/pitch/yaw than generating lift; like Rudram-III
• Follows pretty much the same quasi-ballistic path followed by other contemporaries like Shaurya/LORA

• Only difference being more propellant compared to others in 2nd stage resulting in longer burn; more power to lose energy in maneuvering while evading defences and still having enough to regain speed.
• Saying it's hypersonic and doing the usual "Bharat ka hypersonic jawaab, Pakistan bola aap hi mere Baap" or "Hindustan ka naya Brahmastra, Modi ne kiya Xi ko parast" (daamn, I'm getting quite good at this) on TV/YouTube would glorify this too much; undermining the long way we still have to cover in this field.
Saying it's hypersonic is like saying a rifle round is supersonic or a torpedo is waterproof.

And some personal takes that's just pure yapping backed by my brainrot

* The warhead looks like the one from BrahMos based on the dimensions
* The second stage looks like Shaurya; but shorter though
* It'll be tough firing it from a ship, as claimed earlier given it's size and thrust
* Deploying just three batteries in Gujarat, Kerala and Andaman would effectively solve most of the naval "defence" issue

LRASHM most likely uses a HGV.

I got ur notion but there was a document with lrashm along hgv
That's the reason why many are believing hgv theory

You can call it a HGV be if there's any kind of propulsion power in that thing then terminologically if can't be a glide vehicle. The whole idea of a glide vehicle is to change trajectory without using any propulsion.

The only way it can even remotely be a HGV is if in the endgame phase the second stage booster too separates from the warhead and the warhead continues like this

Can a Glide Vehicle actually be used against a small target like a ship ? How does one ensure precision targeting in spite of sensors?
