The earlier variant has a maximum range of 30 km, while Akash-NG can strike targets up to 70 km.

Dafuq is this Akash NG launcher?

It looks like radar nd missile integrated into one solitary system, now what's the role for Akash NG? Is it being developed as a qrsam or like mrsam?

And what's the deal with odd looking missile launcher canister?

Akasg ng
Will fit between
Akash and mrsam
Each missile has certain pros and cons
The cons with akash is mobility issue
But qrsam is more mobile
At the same time akash can destroy a fighter at higher altitudes which qrsam can't
Also vlsraam is coming

Might be.
But first time we saw missile and
Radar mounted on a same vehicle
But it is mentioned that
Aakash ng is developed to defeat low RCS object s .
And will be used by airforce
And the project is funded by iaf
The problem with old airdefence sams is that they are unable to defeat low RCS objects
It might be a drone or a stealth fighter

Mobility won't be an issue with Akash ng .. as it's evident from the launcher cum multi functional radar vehicle .. it would be more mobile than qrsam..

Tho i don't know what akash ng would replicate .. qrsam or mrsam? Is it meant to be an area deniqp system or a point/terminal defence system?

Too many conjunctions here

@porky_kicker need your opinion .

Aakash ng launcher has radar inbuilt but carries fewer missile ,so is their a possibility that the launcher might be a different platform too ,and this is just for quick reaction mated with radar for early interception
