No mention of the range anywhere?
If so, what was the range of the normal version?

Probably 1500km now.

Is it a different kind of TEL than Babur series, single round perhaps, first test visuals deliberately omitted the launcher.Range should be 1K......

ER or the original one?

Looks Single round compared to 3 round Tel of F4.
Range should be 1500km, it's a bigger missile with larger dia.

during flight it shed something what it could be? is it booster?

Clearly looks like it. The initial booster ejected after gaining momentum to reduce the weight of the missile.

Fir the first time i saw that in past there were not any booster ejection in the test

Correct, back in Sept '25 they announced it. This one is ER.

 

[Falcon26]

Quite strange that they haven’t shared the new range. Probably crossed the 1000km range for once. Perhaps around 1200km.

Here’s an AI enhanced version of the launch picture.

We need to have solid 1000-1500km option


If the baseline is 750km

Then the E.R version should be at least 1000km minimum

The whole purpose of the rocket force is to have multiple options that we can mass produce to some extent to fight a intensive war where your air force may be pushed back due to A.D


This is great but I'm more interested in our supersonic/hypersonic option
