Thanks Arun, HSTDV with a 20 sec scram run the distance covered is about 50km, its significance seems defeating terminal air defenses and not necessarily achieve longer ranges, air defenses such as the s-300 etc, there are other things too ...
some say the HSTDV is the same as the Brahmos-2 and that assumption is kind of weird if Brahmos-2 is supposed to be a JV between India and Russia and the target is a Russian system such as the s-300
In the case of ISRO, how long will it take the RLV to exit the atmosphere? they also plan to have a ramjet and a scram jet in the same vehicle, its definitely more complex operationally
