Dude, the army inducted Akash literally a year before, and it makes sense for them to want a more compact system as well. The AF also had such a system before Akash was inducted into their ranks, where was the stupid titling then? Where does it also mention that the army is working with DRDO on a QRSAM? It doesn't because these writers dont have enough info on this subject.
Please stop talking with half information. You came into this thread thinking AAD just had its maidan test.
Lmao, was Akash even offered to the Navy? Does it even have VLS? What are you even talking about?
Akash is inducted both in the IAF and IA. And it's not the only SAM system going to be inducted.
But it is one of the first SAM systems to be inducted in some time.
