Even if failure they would have announced, they do that for strategic systems so for tactical system I don't think they will hide.

Initially I suspected this was the NASM-MR without the fins and all . Note the nose , its blunt and the configuration of the body , very NASM-SRish.

DRDO sometimes makes printing mistakes.

Well time will tell.
NASM-LR (long range)?.. Meant for Teddy maybe... Certainly longer than regular NASM & the booster in that isn't a seperate module, from what I can tell.

Ohh, it has a booster as well, maybe this will be used for XR-SAM...
Xr sam is just a dark horse , no info till date , we will know about it after first test .

@porky_kicker ,in wiki article about vl srsam it was written that 8 missile will be fitted in a single vls , so is it about some uvls or just a shit article of wiki.

Booster is for Accelerating the Missile to reach the desired level for Ramjet to suck in enough Air . Actual product (AAM)may not have this . But I'd DRDO choose SFDR for XR SAM then Most probably this will be an option.
There are rumours that XR SAM is an old project atleast two decades old , I don't know much about that , may be wrong

AAM may also have it as not all flight profile of the aircraft might have enough velocity for proper/ required ramming of air at the inlet.

That means that the work is on for a long time on it or a older version is already in service ?

XRSAM is coming fast . All the building blocks are in place.

Actually india already has all the building blocks for s400 type system but testing takes time hence we bought s400 outright.
