25km for a missile that size seems very limited. That's the range of the AIM-120B on the NASAMS HML, which is far smaller.
Using AIM-120C the range is pushed out to 30-40km and AMRAAM-ER, an ESSM-AMRAAM hybrid pushed the range out even further, to about 50-60km. AIM-9X Block II can also be used, but has a range of roughly 15km max.
I dunno. Akash's range seems very limited for a missile that size
It's ramjet. Fully powered throughout its flight envelope. Plus has a massive 55Kg warhead.
Anyway, Akash is called a SRSAM, the ones you have linked are called QRSAMs in our vocabulary. We use the Israeli SPYDER.
