Can anyone prove the authenticity of this? The "blast" looks more like a type of stage separation (you can clearly see
the rocket going on even after the blast). But what really is the light appearing around the neck of the rocket?

That is Lockheed Martin Area Defense Anti-munitions (ADAM) prototype test, someone edited the original video. If it could have been a secret project, they couldn't have leaked a damn video.
I don't know why some people want to pass others accomplishment as their. I also dont think that is official prasar bharti channel.

Missile : Agni 2

Location: Integrated Test Range , Wheeler Island, Odisha.

Test Frequency: SFC User trials

Performance : India test-fired the nuclear weapon-capable Agni-II ballistic missile for its full strike range of 2,000 km from Wheeler Island off the Odisha Coast around 9.40 a.m. on Sunday. Personnel of the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) fired the surface-to-surface missile from a mobile launcher. The 20-metre-tall Agni-II zoomed to an altitude of 600 km and began its descent before splashing near its pre-designated impact point in the Bay of Bengal with “two-digit accuracy.”

Result: Success

Missile : Barak 8

Location: Test rig in the Negev

Test Frequency: IAI and DRDO

Performance : (IAI) announced on Monday a successful trial of its Barak-8 Air and Missile Defense System, after it shot down a target that simulated an incoming hostile aircraft.

After being detected by the System's radar, the weapon system calculated the optimal interception point, launched the Barak-8 missile into its operational trajectory that acquired the target, and successfully intercepted it. All the weapon system's components met the test's goals successfully, he said.

Result:Success

I think its high time AAD, PAD and PDV are made VLS launch capable on board IN warships, very much like Aegis destroyers.

Bro, they're huge missiles.

There is an S-300 range type missile in development. Im sure it's using experience gained from AAD, etc.

I think I saw somewhere that the AAD is both smaller and lighter than Brahmos, is it?

You are right .

AAD = 7.5m long , 0.5m dia , 1500kg weight .

Brahmos = 8.4m long , 0.6m dia , 3000kg weight .

PAD will never be operationally deployed as it is a liquid fuelled missile .

AAD is only intended to counter ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles, planes, etc.
