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.
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!
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.
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 .
Corny eurotrash techo music aside that was a great video. I might re-edit that with a better track and upload it to YT. That’s only if you don’t mind.
Love the blog Shiv and keep up the great work.

Think before editing the sound track—
“Avoid Piracy, save the Nation”
crappy soundtrack, but excellent video and footage. great work shiv. do post more such stuff if you have more.
Excellent speed and maneuverability. Easy to use digital controls. Excellent system.
