DRDO should focus on hypersonic missile technology capability building before air defence systems of enemy country becomes headache. We need hypersonic version of brahmos missile & Nirbhaya missile . We need K5 version of SLBM and stealth attack drone. USA , Russia & China have mastered these technology already. Yes we have successfully tested Hypersonic vehicle technology demonstrator but it is not complete technology yet...
