Astra flew with indian seeker multiple times now. I think the order of 250 is with those.
Naval Anti-Ship Missile-Short Range (NASM-SR) test firing.
Finally! India got its indigenous AshM... Should work on an extended range ... Kudos to DRDO and IN.
India developing 300km range air-to-air missile
The Astra Mk-2 and Mk-3 missiles are likely to be tested next year and in 2024 respectively, and are among the Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO) key ongoing programmes, said one of the officials cited above.

What's all this night testing.. And also Prithvi 2.
Something seems to be tested hidden in dark.
It can be different payload. It can be a new guidance system. New technologies are often tested upon Prithvi missiles.
Prithvi is quasi ballistic, xand has a significantly long midcourse level flight, at slow speed.
It never leaves the atmosphere and needs air for generating lift from the large mid section wings.
The terminal velocity isn't great too.
Such missile is very susceptible to ABM.
Pakistan now has HQ-9 which is highly likely to have ABM capability.

Without PMU missiles there's no reasonable ABM threat to any Indian missile flying inside Pakistani atmosphere as of now.
A good SAM like Barak 8 has intercepted SRBMs very recently in real conflict. But then again neither HQ9 nor the Buk copy , LY80 is any where near in capability.
