Indian Hypersonic Propulsion Developments

While i agree with the rest of the trajectory in the artwork, I don't think its gonna make vertical dive for antiship role.
Also i would still categorize its shallow skip under gliding , not ballistic at all.
@marich01 any insights
suppose say it makes vertical dive as shown, then wouldnt it be an advantage for the enemy bcos rest of the ships in the enemy fleet can fire directly above the ship in the air. If it hits horizontally then rest of the ships have to stop firing at some point to avoid friendly fire.
Second thing is that when missile hits vertically from top , even a small change in direction of ship, missile can miss. While hitting horizontally missile has the advantage of hitting across a large surface area (assuming it always hits on the side instead of the stern).
Different types of NEW AGE HYPERSONIC MISSILES
Fyi, in these types of charts the altitude and distance are not to scale, if they were the altitude axis will be lot narrower.

India’s New Hypersonic Anti-Ship Missile Shown Off During Military Parade
The Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile has an intriguing configuration and is focused on Chinese and Pakistani naval threats. The Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile has been developed to meet the Chinese naval threat and should put India in the elite hypersonic missile club.

Main reason of this blended configuration is to create immense pressure on its flat side to *skip* , more similar to a stone skipping on water surface with gliding on downwards trajectory.
While LR-ashm will be able to make very shallow and fewer skips compared to this this blended configuration.
If its just about gliding than LRASHM's long strakes are more than enough, even a brahmos with small fins is able to maintain level flight with mostly its cylindrical body at mach 2+ speed ( the ramjet does not create lift by sucking in air, it just provides provides propulsion to allow brahmos to reach mach 2+ cruise speed, the lift enough to sustain level flight is generated by cylindrical body of brahmos.)
Now this is that mach 2+, LRASHM in its midcourse remains in speed regime of mach 5-6.
Df-17's HGV is a atmospheric skipper + glider.
From what i get
LR-ASHM is mostly a glider with some shallow skip/phugoid behaviour in its trajectory

This research and development will benefit both the IAF and ISRO. For the IAF, it will establish a knowledge base for sixth-generation aircraft simialr to the SR-72 and for ISRO, it will help to create a hybrid engine that combines turbojet, ramjet, and scramjet technologies for HAVA.Congratulations to all the DRDO scramjet project scientists.
Now, can ISRO use this engine to start working on HAVA, and can we trade it for any critical aero engine technologies with France?
