Maybe not Arun.



Hypersonic CM projects a high intensity of uncertainity in detection and interception while a BM is not(be it a tactical/strategic)



People might be discounting its advantages after looking at its cruise altitude of 30-40km,but there is one hidden advantage in that itself.



At present there is no known defence for a supersonic CM itself

and a hypersonic CM like Shourya??? No way it can be intercepted before 2017-2020.

Chandragupta u r more right than less wrong!



There currently are no known functional hypersonic cruise missiles in any nation´s arsenal.



Brahmos type Hypersonic missile can punch a hole in any super carrier of USA without a warhead with its kinetic energy by 36 times.........

The hypersonic version will be capable of immense destructive power on account of kinetic energy resulting from its immense speed. According to BrahMos Aerospace, an object striking a target at Mach 6 will have 36 times the force of an object of the same mass striking the target at Mach 1.

BRAHMOS will pack the same punch since rail guns do something similar at MACH 5 without a warhead, just a projectile.........speed kills, its lethal.



Its going 2 b the work-horse of India with a near pin point accuracy.



Sea-Air launched Brahmos would cover greater length and I guess USS Enterpise days wont be repeated in near future a la 1971.....
