Isnt this in the same tier as the kinzhal?

Isnt this in the same tier as the kinzhal?

If we had some details on the size of this missile then we could speculate. Right now, we have no info.

Isn't ASL = Advanced System Laboratory?

yes they are also now making tactical system it seems. SPRITE does the crmc so maybe due to that.
That other rv missile, BM-04 , is apparently SRBM

Isnt this in the same tier as the kinzhal?

Kinzhal is air launched. These are surface to surface. In future air launched version can be made if we geet heavy carrier jet ie large bombers.

Possibly same P1-P2 config of A1P 1200mm dia or maybe even 1 meter dia new rocket motor. Looks definitely bit more stocky than Pralay 740mm right beside it. There is only A5 as the other strategic system there (beside the LR-ASHM) that I have seen so far, maybe we will know more later. Although not propulsion based itself, this is another glider application.

No the Indian equivalent of kinzal is rudram 3, it's air to surface hypersonic missiles, max range of 600km, it's dual purpose missile ARM and targeting hardened ground targets

 

[marich01]

rudrams are almost half the dia size of Kinzhal and weighs even less than half. These are not comparable. If someday we can turn shaurya into an airlanched one, that might somewhat.

Another one?

LR-ASHM is likely mach 10 capable the scientist meant here ? cc @Ashwin @Rajput Lion @Gautam

 

[marich01]

If you have the naval version, then by habit you would have the land attack version of that too right ? maybe that ?

though have to say with the BM-04 already do not see feasibility. So maybe the booster dia is varied ie a much higher dia is used.

If already posted please remove it

Scientist explaining again, LR-ASHM speed top 3.3km/sec , min 2.2km/sec. that is within 6-10 mach throughout.

LR-AShM is a dual purpose missile the scientist at points quotes it, missile can be used for land attacks too

It would be great if Brahmos and LRAshM could share TEL and support vehicles. Similar role, common training and interoperable support system.

It seems, similar-sized TEL (12 wheels) appears to be carrying both BrahMos and LR-ASHM.
