flag India successfully tests a hypersonic scramjet engine, a key step toward developing hypersonic missiles.

flag India’s DRDO successfully conducted a 12-minute ground test of a full-scale, actively cooled scramjet combustor at its Hyderabad facility, a major milestone in its hypersonic missile program. flag The test validated the engine’s design and the indigenous test facility, building on prior successes in 2025 and 2024. flag The scramjet, which enables sustained flight at speeds over Mach 5, uses supersonic combustion and advanced cooling to manage extreme heat. flag The achievement, led by DRDL with industry and academic support, positions India among a select group of nations developing hypersonic technology. flag Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hailed the success as a strong foundation for future hypersonic cruise missile capabilities.
