Image
  Which Countries Have Hypersonic Missiles in 2025? Full List and Capabilities Explained Posted by Technology and Defense Team Countries with Hypersonic Missiles  Hypersonic missiles have transformed from lab experiments to operational military assets. Traveling at speeds over Mach 5 and capable of maneuvering during flight, these weapons are extremely hard to intercept. Several nations are developing hypersonic systems, but only a couple have actually fielded them for military use as of 2025. What Are Hypersonic Missiles? Hypersonic weapons generally fall into two types. First is the hypersonic glide vehicle , which is boosted by a rocket and then glides through the atmosphere at very high speed. Second is the hypersonic cruise missile , powered by advanced engines like scramjets to sustain hypersonic speeds close to the surface. These systems are designed to break through traditional missile defense networks. For a detailed technical explanation, see NASA's hypersoni...

What Inspired the Nagas to Take Up Arms? The Journey from NNC to NSCN and Beyond Posted By:  Technology & Defence Team   The story of the Naga insurgency is one of identity, culture, and a fierce desire for self-determination. To understand why the Nagas raised an army and formed multiple armed groups, we need to look at their history, their struggles, and their dreams of sovereignty. Naga National Flag  The Inspiration Behind the Armed Struggle At its core, the motivation for the Naga armed struggle was to protect their unique identity, culture, and ancestral lands. When India gained independence in 1947, the Nagas expected autonomy or even independence based on earlier promises. However, the Indian government integrated the Naga territories into the Union of India without granting the promised rights. Despite their traditional reputation as headhunters — a practice that had declined significantly by the mid-20th century — the Nagas had a strong sense of ethnic pride...
