Regarding ABM resistance, worth factoring the following:



1. For a BGRV type hypersonic craft that is flying in complex trajectory toward a group of probable cluster of targets, no radar network can compute what is in the mind of the Shourya's computer (need a psychic's service) ; so forget about firing a SAM to take it down.



2. SAMS are not launched in air waiting for target (like fighter cap). They have a very small kill box that better be accurately projected in time - space.



3. BGRV type hypersonic craft can pull sustained G > 100, coupled with INS guideline/control it can pull the most unpredictable trajectory to its chosen target.



4. Even for Prayduman or AAD it will be very difficult to take on BGRV type target. Forget about S300, S400 style interceptors whose G rate is limited.

India's Hypersonic Boost Glide Missile - Shourya is a significant milestone in building capability for the nation in the field of missiles both for strategic and tactical applications.



It is interesting (but not surprising) to note that US is also working on Hypersonic Boost Glide technology for a long time.
