These submarines must be able to deploy tethered drones for surveillance and hypersonic missiles to destroy the detected threats for better shoot and scoot۔۔۔۔

Can someone tell me what is "Hangor" or what it is named after?

Hangor means Shark
The Hangor-class submarine (Chinese Type-39A) is named after PNS Hangor (French Daphne-class), which sank an Indian Navy ship in 1971.

Nobody is going to give you hypersonic missiles.

No comfirmation, but likely will be purchased. YJ-18E
Most sensible / likely choice for Hangors along with optionally Babur-IIIs.
Its already cleared for export. Its designation is YJ-18E. Its not exactly a hypersonic missile. It reaches terminal speed of mach 3. Hypersonics is 5+ mach.

YJ-18E
Maximum cruise speed: Mach 0.8
Maximum terminal speed: Mach 3
It is a subsonic and supersonic combined cruise missile, not a hypersonic missile.
The PLA's domestically used version has a maximum range of 600 km, while the export version, limited by the MTCR, has a maximum range of 298 km. The warhead of the export version was also reduced by one-third, only two-thirds of that of the PLA's own version.------ This is publicly available official information; nobody knows the truth.
YJ-19
It has not yet obtained an export license. As for the future, I don't know!

Hypersonic is not just about speed but also how the missile behaves in the air and its trajectory. There are very few true hypersonic missiles in the world. Everything else is a marketing hype.
