Pakistan's military wants the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile to counter India's S-400 and S500 air defense missile systems? According to reports by India TV News, India is preparing to introduce production lines to jointly produce the latest S-500 air defense missile system with Russia and expand the stockpile of S-400 air defense missiles.
In order to suppress India's long-range air defense system, there are rumors in Pakistan that Pakistan plans to purchase the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile to overwhelm India's air defense system. However, even if the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile were given to Pakistan, it would be difficult for Pakistan to operate it effectively.
This is because Pakistan's military does not have the capability to real-time lock onto Indian military targets. Hypersonic missiles are not only fast but also rely on a huge space-based reconnaissance system to real-time discover and lock onto targets. Only when launched can they hit the intended targets.
The Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile is a symbol of great power strength. It requires a high-speed wind tunnel system for testing and a large number of supercomputers for data calculations.
To support large-scale hypersonic wind tunnels and supercomputer systems, a massive power generation system is needed. The power consumption of these systems is extremely high. In actual combat, a space-based reconnaissance system is also required to fully utilize the power of the Dongfeng-17 hypersonic missile.
