arun sir can u pls explain the hyper sonic cruise in shourya missile, there is a lot of confusion about the shurya missile,



and also there is some confusion that K 15 missile and shourya are two different missiles

From what I can make out of all the statements is that the Shaurya is launched as a ballistic missile(because of its booster) and travels in the upper atmosphere without leaving it unlike a conventional Ballistic Missile. So its what is called an aero-ballistic missile. The Soviets had a a/c launched long range missile which was thought to be of that genre. In this case instead of a/c this one is ground launched.



Also K-15 and Shaurya are mostly same with minor variations. One is for sub-based the other is land based.



What all these means is one cant use pruely ballistic trajectory evaluations for this type of missiles.
