India already has 25 km range Akash, adding another 20 km range missile?
This one shall be very cheap + Verticle launch as well.

Akash uses the Soviet era SA-6 airframe.Akash is too big for a 25 km range missile.

Still does not make sense to have two missiles of the same range for the same kind of mission. How many missiles can this new launch vehicle for Astra carry? If it is less than eight then it is a complete waste.
No. you are wrong.
What benefit is there for having two SAM systems with the same range?
Akash will soon be a 40+ KM range system.
Akash Carries 60+KG warhead.
So India will be investing money in Akash which has a 25 km range, and at the same time investing time and money at Astra which is a 20 km range missile. And people like you find nothing wrong in that. Great.
Let's talk when Akash is a 40 km range missile, not before that.
Quick reaction SAMs are different than normal SAMs.
Quick reaction SAM can be used for defence of ships as well.
