no brother, the new video is out:Maybe they did not have the success they hoped for.. or they never got a video..
and used last years one
The slow speed is because it is being filmed from a fighter jet and not a stationary spot and that's why the relative motion/speed is low. same as you can see in below video of AGM-129A Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM)The fact that you can see it fly by so slowly.. is indicative that it can be shot down pretty easy too.
Raa'd has a long way to go if this is the best it is capable of.
Babur has better terrain following and matching capabilities.
But those two teams probably have a professional jealousy thing going on
so i think the matter is settled now.

As far as I know, Raad is the air launched version and there is no other Babur air version in development stage. Sub launched would be the same as Babur with minor modifications to adapt it for sub-surface tube or VLS launch. other short range alternatives for air launched stand-off weapons include H2 & H4. May be there are other Chinese origin alternatives which am not very well aware off.
Raad is reported to be a different missile altogether and not an air launched version of Babur.
what may be the case is that after the success of Raad, they have canceled the Babur Air Launched project. or, we might see it is times to come as it will have more range!
regards!
