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~
