Reply to Pakistan testing a anti ship ballistic missile?
Well can not tell, but it has been tested once before per local media.
and the rocket motor is Ogni directorates property.
Looks like that model at the right side of the image is for LRAShM

Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo missile successfully test fired off Odisha coast #Odisha https://t.co/5uoxr3ilFK

A Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) missile was successfully test fired off Odisha coast from Dhamra’s Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Balasore district on Saturday.
As per reports, the launch took place at 6:55 PM today. The SMART missile is capable of carrying a high-explosive warhead weighing up to 50 kg.
In today’s test, the SMART missile has hit the target up to 1368 km.
Today’s test was success. After launching from the missile launch pad, it releases torpedoes in the middle of the ocean to destroy enemy submarines. The Torpedoes target deep-sea submarines.
1368km is rather excellent figure. Is it based on an existing missile or is it a new design altogether?
SMART, Shaurya, K-15/B-05, Pralay etc. are all based on same basic frame, each modified for their specific role(s).
So LRAShM is our own DF-17, nice

Hemant Route Ji was mistaken on the type of missile.

A Miniature Joule Thomson Cooler is used for the operation of high performance cooled infrared detectors in the articles.
Early iterations really go through a lot of changes. Old presentations and new versions sometimes don't match up.

Rudram-3 seems to have just one set of mid-body cropped (delta?) fins and one at the rear. Or is the booster missing?
very old/previous iterations and looks more like R2 config somewhat, now only thing to look forward to is the 4th in the series.
