Despite the pandemic blow, missile scientists held on to the hypersonic dream | HSTDV series Part-2
In the last one decade, missile scientists have made several design changes on HSTDV, mainly in panel separation and cruise vehicle ejection.COVID-19 pandemic blow. missile scientists. hypersonic dream. HSTDV series Part-2.India News. National News

HSTDV TEL is interesting , new boxy type enclosures at the sides compared to usual Indian TELs
One can argue for the sake of argument , that having a dedicated TEL designed specifically for HSTDV points towards the intent to operationalise HSTDV as a weapon system ( contrary to the publically published intent of its use as a technology demonstrator ).

This movie I would love to see.Teaser pics before SRK movie release
Notice that seam ?
That is probably the electronics bay for the seeker and the GNC system. The 1st flight prototype didn't have that.
We don't know if the photo above is of the HSTDV model that was recently tested or a new one. Either way the HSTDV tech is headed for weaponisation.

Not unlike ISRO's HAVA or Scramjet Research Vehicle or whatever it's called.
