So what is the different between Astra VLS or maitri
and if astra is on they why we are going to maitri. Lots of confusion
Thats why i'm saying there is a separate SR-SAM independent of Astra/Maitri.Astra is developed as a BVR missile, not for agility in close combats. It neither have additional fins (like Python V) or TVC (like MICA) features to enhance that capability and that's where Maitri / MICA comes in. Again, just as in the Spyder SAM system, that includes 2 different missiles. Thanks to the MICA base, Maitri also could feature both seekers (IR & EM), but that needs to be seen in the final configuration of the project.
Akash and Astra are good base developments for India, but neither have the capability, nor the potential of the Barak 8 and Maitri co-developments. With the chance to put them on a variety of platforms in all forces (especially Maitri, from land based versions, to naval surface and sub launched once, up to close combat varients for IAF's fighter fleet). We just need to get these co-development done and focus on getting the most out of their potential.

It will have every required features and N-Maitri will helps to speed up this project. Astra VL is just a rumor.
And it has reached fabrication stage. - DRDO
I know missile would be the same. But,the command & control architecture will be very different.That is the whole reason IAF version of Barak 8 taking more time to develop.There is no naval Maitri SAM, but the same missile in a version for IA and IN, just as Barak 8 will have land and sea based applications.
The first mention was DRDO chiefs IIT lecture last year.And people like saurav jha confirmed it.The link btw doesn't talk about a development, just about the tender for the Fabrication of QRSAM igniter canister assembly.
No.
250 KM range missile is under development. He said that we can make better than the best,
Wasn't another name of Akash with seeker "Maitri"?
What is current status of our JV with french ......Is it still going on or we have shut it down?
