No. AAM's test videos are not publicly available.

Are they being accepted to service?

Are they being accepted to service?

Yes. Both ABM and AAM are going into production. It's just that the video has not been released.

They released ABM video only to show Kim Jong Un that we can shoot down his TBM and SRBM.

Once shortly after North Korean ICBM test they publicized a clip with Hyunmoo-V, the »Monster« missile with 8-9t deep bunker penetrating warhead. Showing the DPRK leadership we can blow up their asses … and China that we have weapons with 3.000km IRBM range.

More detailed L-SAM AAM

At the LIG Nex1 booth at the last ADEX, the guy who asked the question said that the AAM will have a range of 150~160km.

Is L-SAM AAM and L-SAM ABM two interceptors of the same system? Or two different systems altogether?

The former. Only the missiles are different....

We‘ll improve the range further in Block II.

The best things is, L-SAM Block I AAM can intercept targets speeding at Mach 2.05 up to 40+ km altitude.

Two different interceptor types of same L-SAM system (1 AESA MF radar, 1 C&C center, 1 Combat control station, 4 launchers: ABM + AAM).

ABM is 3 stage missile, bigger diameter with integrated TVC booster and heat-shielded IIR seeker with maneuverable endoatmospheric kill-vehicle (DACS).

ABM launchers are circular tubes.

AAM launchers are rectangular canisters (@urban mine pic from above )

Please share photos of missiles rather than launchers

Again Korea again great technology.

L-SAM ABM appears superior than PAC-3

There‘re most available images of ABM and AAM in your post. AAM launching test video was never disclosed, only ABM launch & interception video. Photos of AAM from defense fairs, nothing else more out there afaik.

L-SAM covers a higher layer of air defense (longer range, higher altitude) than PAC-3.
Patriot as a medium-range air defense is incredibly good.

In the first place, PAC-3 and L-SAM have different areas of responsibility. Rather than looking at which one is better, we should look at whether they can accomplish the mission in their respective areas, especially in ballistic interceptions on a narrow peninsula, where KAMD requires layered air defenses to work well.
