Shit like this is why I am confident that PLA's OPFOR exercises actually help inform tactics vs IA's dog and pony show

These are vedic numbers we're seeing
India has successfully tested a hypersonic missile. Said to have a range of 1500 kilometers and reaches speed of Mach 9.
Yeah, the one area where India has done well is in long-range missiles (e.g. Agni). I think the Brahmos collaboration with Russia was the seedbed for a lot of these development decades ago.
Maybe missile tech is easier to get right than things like jet engines? Even Iran has hypersonic missiles. I suspect we may also have to make more nuanced differences between various forms of hypersonic missiles, just as we make distinctions between non-thermo atom bombs and thermonuclear weapons.

Is India developing icbm names Surya? Or not?

While Kinzhal is probably not hypersonic, most analysts seem to think Zircon is. So his claim that Russia doesn't have hypersonic missiles is pretty bold.
The Russian connection could possibly explain this test.
The Indians have been begging for ToT for a while now. The Russians have historically been very kind to India and helped their meager MIC. It's possible they helped here too.
