2 Akash SAM’s hit single target simultaneously
Today a battery of two Akash Surface to Air missiles were test fired on a single target. Both the missiles hit the target simultaneously. The target was a towed body and Lakshya PTA was towing it. The target was at 400 mts altitude, 17 kms range and 700 kms/ph speed.
The current phase of Air Force user trials saw test firings of Akash SAM on 14th and 15th December in a crossover (targets comes from left to right or vice versa) and low altitude. Todays test firing saw Akash firing is receding mode (target moving away). next test firing is on 22 Dec.
Another highlight of these tests were that the Rajendra -2 and Rajendra - 3 radars were used.
