Mighty impressive. One could see the missile in all it's glory. It's plume when it covered the distance was impressive. Especially the top manoeuvre it executed when hitting the target. Do keep sharing more such videos for us to bookmark.
The photo ? Its a Brahmos, the photo is highly compressed. No photo has been out yet.
What intrigues me is the use of words
'New Version'. What does that means??
So where exactly does this leave the armed forces w.r.t induction of these missiles?
They will have 3 new systems in 150km, 250-500km and 700-1500 km range very soon. Most of the technologies are actually in place.
The last category is already covered by the Agni 1&2.Unless we're replacing them.
maybe its Prahar - 150 - 250 ,Pralay 250 - 500 ,Shaurya 700 - 1000 k.m. supersonic missile
In your understanding, have we deployed the Nirbhay SS CM in the current stand off with China & if yes in what numbers?
Frankly speaking I have no information on nirbhay , but if I were to use the " available " information from " correct " sources ( drdo ) I would say all indications ( atleast to me ) are that it is not deployed.
Anyways
Have the developer trials finished ?
Then
Have the user trials finished ?
Without them how can a weapon be cleared for production and subsequent deployment ?
One can deploy a under-development/under-testing tank or artillery if a crisis emerges , but can the same risk be taken with a long range missile ? It is a too complicated and too sensitive a system to be put to risk .
It's my personal opinion. Let's wait and see what the truth actually is .

Newer versions of warheads are in making, conventional and nuclear. And there are certain restrictions on what A1 and A2 can do. K4, Agni 5 and Prahar systems had access to technologies atleast 10-15 years ahead than what is in A1 and A2.
There's already A1P in making with the learnings from other latest missiles.
A1 isn't widely deployed, with latest developments, we need more of the kind, and it's better to implement contemporary Technologies, if and when we make more of A1 class missiles.
The flight altitude of Shaurya is depressed, not a true ballistic missile. A1 in its terminal stage is actually faster. A proper ballistic missile will replace the 700-1500 km range.
We had less than 10m CEP SRBMs before Isakander came into service.
