Saar,
Akash has a 35 cm diameter. And the payload is reported to be 60 Kg. I wonder if DRDO/BARC can fit a nooke in there. If they can, then they can fit one in the BRAHMOS too easily.
I would suppose that a N-tipped SAM / Anti Missile Missile would be a PAD equivalent, both because of its dimensions and because of the altitude where it will intercept with a N-blast.
In this case I will tend to assume this is the result of a DDM display of it usual dorkiness.
But I would love to be corrected.
Added later: Wiki does say that Akash's warhead is a 60Kg fragmentation or a Nuclear warhead. (I tend to trust what wiki says wrt Indian missiles - that's the only source after your pages are no longer viewable).
PS when your missile pages are again viewable, please do update them to current data.
Thanks
