VL-SRSAM is actually longer than Astra. Astra 2? If it has dual pulse, then it is for practical purpose Astra 2. Don't know if there is a requirement for dual pulse. Barak8 has it, Mica Naval is planned to have dual pulse, so it will not be out of ordinary.. This is older Astra MK1. The newer Mk1 i...
