Hypersonic Missile Race: Russia’s Avangard, China’s DF-41, US' Trident — & India’s DRDO Breakthrough

They travel faster than sound. Some even at Mach 20. They can strike any point on the planet within minutes — and no known defence system can stop them. In this explosive breakdown, we take you inside the world’s fastest and most powerful missiles — Russia’s Avangard and Sarmat, China’s DF-41, the US Trident II D5 and Minuteman III — and reveal India’s imminent entry into the hypersonic elite. From nuclear payloads to manoeuvrability and range, these weapons define modern deterrence and domination. And with India’s DRDO now testing indigenous hypersonic tech, the global arms race just got a new player. #HypersonicMissile #Avangard #DF41 #TridentII #Sarmat #MissileTechnology #IndiaDefence #DRDO #RussiaMissile #ChinaMissile #USAWeapons #NuclearMissile #Mach20 #Geopolitics #MilitaryPower #DefenceExplained #MissileRace #StrategicWeapons #ICBM #WorldMilitaryPower Also Read India’s S-400 vs Pakistan’s HQ-9P: Who Commands the Skies Now? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-s-400-vs-pakistan-s-hq-9p-who-commands-the-skies-now-4147915.html?ref=DMDesc Missile Strike Near Ben Gurion Airport Leads To Air India Flight Rerouting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-strike-near-ben-gurion-airport-leads-to-air-india-flight-rerouting-4143153.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~GR.125~

S-400 EXPOSED? Russia’s S-400 SYSTEM WRECKED by Low-Flying DRONES |  Putin SILENT After The Attack [Video]

S-400 EXPOSED? Russia’s S-400 SYSTEM WRECKED by Low-Flying DRONES | Putin SILENT After The Attack

Russia’s highly-touted S-400 air defense system is under intense scrutiny after a massive Ukrainian drone strike reportedly destroyed critical assets, including Russian bombers. On June 1, 2025, over 117 low-flying drones bypassed radar detection and targeted key military sites. Despite its reputation, the S-400 struggled to intercept these cheap, agile UAVs. Ukraine’s coordinated swarm attacks, use of jammers, decoys, and anti-radar missiles highlight growing vulnerabilities in legacy defense systems like the S-400—designed for jets and missiles, not modern drone warfare. #Ukraine #Russia #S400 #DroneStrike #AirDefense #UAV #DroneWarfare #UkraineWar #S400Failure #MilitaryNews #Zelensky #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraineWar #Drones #ATACMS #HIMARS #MissileDefense #MilitaryTech #Kremlin #RussiaMilitary #GeoPolitics #UkrainianDrones #DroneSwarm #WarUpdate #Putin #NATO #ModernWarfare #RussianBombers #BattlefieldInnovation #117Drones ~ED.102~HT.336~

India-China Ties At Tipping Point: Jaishankar Begins High-Stakes Beijing Mission | SCO Talks Begin

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrives in Beijing for critical talks with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi—the first visit since the 2020 Ladakh military clash that brought ties to their lowest in six decades. The agenda: defusing tensions, troop withdrawal along the Line of Actual Control, and rebuilding trade and cultural links. Afterwards, Jaishankar heads to Tianjin for the SCO foreign ministers meeting (July 14–15), where a joint communique is uncertain after India blocked defence ministers’ support over Pakistan's Pahalgam reference. Ahead of Beijing, he also met Singapore’s leaders to boost investment, semiconductors, infrastructure, and Indo‑Pacific cooperation. This mission aims to reset Indo‑China relations, counter global uncertainty, and reaffirm India’s strategic weight in multilateral diplomacy. #Jaishankar #BeijingVisit #IndiaChinaTies #LadakhStandoff #WangYi #SCO2025 #TianjinMeeting #TroopWithdrawal #TradeTalks #PeopleToPeople #Diplomacy #IndiaForeignPolicy #SingaporeMeeting #IndoPacific #StrategicDialogue #ChinaIndia #GlobalDiplomacy #RegionalStability #SCO #HighStakesTalks

Indian Army REFUTES ULFA Claims | No strikes on Banned outfit ULFA Camps in Myanmar

The Indian Army has denied claims made by ULFA-I of a cross-border drone strike on its Myanmar headquarters that allegedly killed 19 cadres. Defence PRO Mahendra Rawat said the Army has no inputs confirming any such operation. Sources suggest the attack may stem from infighting among militant groups. ULFA-I leader Paresh Baruah remains elusive near the tri-junction with ISI support. With Myanmar’s border regions in turmoil, Indian officials remain concerned over insurgent activity and the exploitation of the porous border. #ULFAI #IndianArmy #MyanmarStrike #DroneStrikeDenial #IndiaMyanmarBorder #CrossBorderAttack #BreakingNews #ManipurMilitancy #PareshBaruah #InsurgentGroups #Tatmadaw #MyanmarConflict #BorderSecurity #IndiaNews #ULFAClaims #Infighting #ISI #NorthEastIndia #PorousBorders #SecurityAlert #ULFACamps #MilitantActivity #RupomAsom #MyanmarViolence #CounterTerror #DefencePRO #ArunodayDohotiya #NayanMedhi #IndiaDeniesStrike Also Read Operation Sindoor Reveals Multi-Front Threat: India's Strategic Wake-Up Call from Pakistan, China, and Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindoor-reveals-multi-front-threat-indias-strategic-wake-up-call-from-pakistan-china-a-7793223.html?ref=DMDesc China Uses Pakistan As ‘Live Lab’ For Weapons Testing, Says Indian Army Deputy Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/lt-gen-rahul-r-singh-81-of-pakistan-s-military-gear-comes-from-china-7791183.html?ref=DMDesc First Greenfield Shipyard, HSL, Turns 85!
