Video: Akash SAM trials, test-firings

Found this video, with lots of good footage of the Akash trials (Army and IAF versions) and test-firings from the Integrated Test Range. Photos of the entire Akash SAM ensemble next.

  1. ha ha i totally agree with you. i’ve never seen a govt/defence video that’s had tasteful bkg music. always this sort of crap. please do go ahead and re-edit it all you want. maybe they’ll be inspired for the next time they make a video!

  2. crappy soundtrack, but excellent video and footage. great work shiv. do post more such stuff if you have more.

  3. The Army really made the DRDO test it out under difficult circumstances..from the video, the Akash seems like a great system. the IA should order more of these, at least a couple more squadrons. There’s far too many Pechora squadrons that are due for retirement.

  4. its very proud to see home grown weapons. Akash doesn’t failed in testing . its sad to say IAF has reduced the sqn’s from 8 to 2 nos in placing order akash missiles .

    For next generation akash should be modified to tube firing like s-300 / patriot . Pac 3 has 16 nos missiles in single launcher , DRDO should try to make more agile .

    Army / IAF need to place massive orders in Akash .
