Various news reports speculate that #agni5 is a hypersonic missile as the exhaust trail of the missile shows hypersonic glide vehicle firing. DRDO is completely silent on this. 
What is a hypersonic missile?
A missile that flies with atleast 5 times more than the speed of sound is said to be a hypersonic missile.
Russia was the first country to have it, other than Russia, China & USA put cloudy claims of having it.

Hi @Mid_Day, that's a Gripen. Neither the Indian Air Force nor the Pakistan Air Force operate any.
Hi @TimesOfIndia, why a 'representative image' of an F-35 though?
Hi @WIONews, that isn't a Sukhoi-30, that's a Jaguar.
