BEIJING - Pakistan may get supersonic missiles which are better than the Russian Indian joint supersonic missile BrahMos.
As per the media report, Pakistan may buy new Chinese supersonic missile deemed better than the similar BrahMos rocket system developed by India and Russia.
According to report in Global Times link, a successful supersonic missile flight test was conducted on Monday, prompting a Chinese military expert to suggest the system will face little competition on the international arms market.
“The test at a discreet location in North China verified the launch, power and flight control systems, according to a statement released on Monday by Guangdong Hongda Blasting Company,” it said.
All parameters for the supersonic cruising flight of the HD-1 missile achieved their estimated values, the statement said.
"The test flight shows that the HD-1's core components are now mature, with its aerodynamic design, materials and overall structure already proven viable," Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military analyst, was quoted as saying by the newspaper on Tuesday.
Hongda independently invested in and developed the HD-1, the statement added.
The development of the HD-1 is an excellent example of military-civilian integration, Wei said.
