[size="6"]BrahMos hypersonic missile to touch Mach 5 to 7[/size]
"The hypersonic missile, which will be smaller than BrahMos-I, will definitely provide an advantage to the Indian armed forces in future warfare," Pillai said when asked about the need for the missile.[/u]

Smaller than Brahmos-1 because it will use lesser fuel to achieve same range but since scramjet generates far higher Isp than ramjet it needs less fuel to achieve same range ?
Can a scramjet variant of Brahmos II can do the same type of trajectory as ramjet Brahmos-1 ?
