A ballistic missile is a missile (rocket) that follows a ballistic trajectory with the objective of delivering one or more warheads to a predetermined target.

A cruise missile is a guided missile used against terrestrial targets that remain in the atmosphere and flies the major portion of its flight path at approximately constant speed.  

A supersonic missile exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1) but is not faster than Mach-3. Most supersonic missiles travel at a speed between Mach-2 and Mach-3.

A hypersonic missile is a vehicle that achieves a speed five times faster than the speed of sound, crossing Mach 5.

India has its own missile system and there are lots of missiles which we did not disclose to the world.

India is self reliant in the field of missile production. Now India is selling Bramhos Supersonic Missiles to the neighbouring countries.
