Why induction of Shaurya missile is critical for India?

Beijing is in no mood to deescalate. It wants India to accept the current status quo at the border. India stated that the “unilateral attempts of the Chinese side to alter the status quo and in violation of the bilateral agreements” have created a problem in the border areas and that the Chinese side did not propose any “forward-looking proposals” to resolve the problem. The signal from Beijing is quite evident. It is unwilling to vacate even at the cost of going to war or changing the format of bilateral relations. We may even witness fresh incursions and short conflicts across the LAC. The next one month is going to be very crucial for China as after that, the winter will be at its peak and it will be impossible for them to maintain the good numbers of troops or attempt any incursion. At the same time India is keeping its arsenal ready as a deterrence. We have recently seen the test of Agni-P and Agni-5 missiles and how Agni-5 has disturbed China as it covers the each and every Chinese city. Last year the government had given its nod for the induction of the Shaurya missile which is going to be again a big worry for China. The missile has been deployed at locations identified by the Indian Strategic Forces Command under guidance from National Security Council. In today’s video we are going to discuss about the Shaurya missile and why is it important for India? Technical Specifications. Shaurya is a cannister launched hypersonic surface-to-surface ballistic missile developed by DRDO. It has a reported range between 700 to 1900km. The missile is capable of carrying nuclear as well as conventional warhead varying from 250kg to 1 tonne. It is also speculated as the land version of submarine launched Sagarika K-15 missile though officially it has been denied by DRDO. As the missile is cannister launched it has more shelf life and requires less maintenance. The missile can remain hidden or camouflaged in underground silos from enemy surveillance or satellites till they are fired from the special storage-cum-launch canisters. The missile, encased in a composite canister, is mounted on a single vehicle, which has only a driver's cabin, and the vehicle itself is the launch platform. This "single vehicle solution" reduces its signature – it cannot be easily detected by satellites – and makes its deployment easy. The gas generator, located at the bottom of the canister, fires for about a second and a half. It produces high pressure gas, which expands and ejects the missile from the tube. The missile can reach the maximum speed of Mach 7.5 even at low altitudes. Back in November 2018, it crossed speed of Mach5 as it crossed the distance of 300km. What is unique about this missile is that after taking off and reaching a height of about 50 km, the missile starts flying like a hypersonic cruise missile. Once it reaches the target area it manoeuvres towards the target before striking with an accuracy of 20 to 30 m within the target area. Its hypersonic speed and maneuverability is what makes it unique ballistic missile and at the same time less vulnerable to anti-missile defense systems. To be precise it will give adversary’s radars only 400 seconds to detect, track and intercept before it hits the target. Shaurya missile is also cheaper and faster than Brahmos missile which is another added advantage of India. India is rapidly increasing its missile strength. It has already deployed Nirbhay sub sonic cruise missile, BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and Shaurya hypersonic missile, giving India all the options of using various weapons in advent of need.
