Also the wing design is different. It is also not AKASH SAM as the missile have no ramjet propulsoin systems visible.Not AAD also. The missile in the picture is a dual staged missile! But its not BARAK-8. Its some sort of a SAM, I presume. May be the SAM version of ASTRA!!!Rickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056958448920214496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-67624151314569214842010-08-15T09:11:59.363-07:002010-08-15T09:11:59.363-07:00It looks to be LR-SAM missile.It looks to be LR-SAM missile.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03668736380405774521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-8120010253678886632010-08-15T08:37:51.308-07:002010-08-15T08:37:51.308-07:00PDV?PDV?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-33959312532241399952010-08-15T08:18:29.370-07:002010-08-15T08:18:29.370-07:00jeez, that's an Old SA-2.jeez, that's an Old SA-2.Sidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-67771370673839952042010-08-15T08:14:58.167-07:002010-08-15T08:14:58.167-07:00This is DRDL's project Devil SAM.
