DRDO and PSU's

DRDO Expert Speaks
However, former Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO) scientist Dr. Prahlada said it doesn’t look like a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV) test, with the only difference being the timing of the test being late evening or night hours.

“Moreover, the curvature of the earth and its position in space makes objects going farther away or higher appear as they are heading down.

This is all the more amplified in videos, and it would be difficult to conclude whether it was an HGV test or some other purpose until the launch video is available,” Prahlada said.

When filing this report, the DRDO was yet to comment on testing or release the launch footage.

There were claims that DRDO used low speed and a depressed trajectory to hide its actual range and true potential. “If they had used true potential, speed, and optimal trajectory, the missile would have gone further. This means the actual range is far greater than 5000 km. DRDO fired along the lowest line on the graph to achieve the target distance of 5000 km,” an observer noted.

By “lowest line on the graph,” the comment referred to the three different trajectories of ballistic missiles, all of which follow a parabolic path and leave the atmosphere before reentering it to descend on its target.

Plotted on a graph, they become three large parabolas with different heights and arches, with the lowest one almost hugging and running parallel to the earth’s curvature, possibly still within the atmosphere – or ‘endo-atmospheric’ in military-technical terms.

What I posted was based on twitter space done by alpha defence
Until mod and drdo don't clear things everything is assumption and u know how unreliable osints are
So we have to wait for more details

WE Tested Agni with Marv ?
We tested Agni with HGV ?
Did we test both ?

Hypersonic missile technology was already tested by India few years back.

So from all the internet searching I did, it seems that anti ship version of dfzf Is still in development, most likely later stages of

WE Tested Agni with Marv ?
We tested Agni with HGV ?
Did we test both ?

Na HGV was test in Oct 2023 under project DHVANI.

That was a scram jet for hypersonic cruise missile.

Not scram jet, I am talking about glide vehicle.

The scram jet technology is also there with India. Apart from air launched hypersonic cruise missile.

India has tested hypersonic glide vehicle and to some extent scram jet.

I wish there was a game like fleet command, dangerous waters but for ABM and BM simulation. Would help a lot as how does different kind of BMs, MARVs, HGV designs affect the performance of different type of ABM systems.
Afterall it's all for reducing detect time and making it harder for ABM systems to intercept.
