#InOurDefence #CruiseMissile #BrahMos #itwebvideos #ManikEngine #HypersonicMissiles #LRLACM #ShivAroor On November 12, the DRDO conducted the maiden flight test of the Long-Range Land Attack Cruise Missile (LRLACM), successfully meeting all mission objectives. Just days later, on November 16, India achieved another milestone by testing its first long-range hypersonic missile, joining an elite club of nations with this cutting-edge capability. What makes these tests so special? In this episode, host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor analyse their significance for India’s defence landscape. What do these tests reveal about India's growing missile technology? How do they enhance the country’s strategic position globally? The LRLACM test was especially significant because it showcased the Manik engine, a homegrown development representing a major advancement in the country’s missile propulsion technology. Are these breakthroughs sufficient to ensure India’s self-reliance in defence technology? Looking back at the evolution of missile technology, the duo traces its journey from primitive war implements to sophisticated systems like the BrahMos. How has this technological evolution transformed modern warfare and diplomacy? Moreover, they revisit the legacy of the BrahMos project as a model of international collaboration and technological growth. Share your thoughts at pods@indiatoday.com or text us at 8588966996!
