That's the SPYDER-MR ADS (Medium Range Air Defense Missile System), and missile options include the Derby and the Python-5.

The MAN one is Iron Dome.

Added :- Is it Spyder MR because on the TATA truck bonnet it is written Spyder SR ???

Oh Yes, the "MAN" is the IRON DOME! TATA is the Spyder!

@Septimus P.: I would love to share them without the watermarkings, but I don't want any of the dailies picking it up rampantly and publishing them, especially at this point.

Few more:

The top photo tells me the LCH is sure to send shivers down the spine of anyone unfortunate enough to find himself facing an armed cousin of this prototype.

The 2nd photo above shows the camo has been extended to the cabin frame, which is great. The older camo pattern is seen below. The amount of dark-green in the camo has been reduced as well.

It was always there. You did not inspect her closely enough before

Singha · Post by **Singha** » 05 Feb 2013 07:17

the tata truck has one derby and one python5 poking out..so looks like universal launcher for both missiles..makes sense.

the python MR with a fat 1st stage booster is almost as long as the barak8 to its left.. its being offered as a combo with the derby for those who want a mix of radar guided and IR guided missiles in the system of equal range - the IDF Spyder MR system.

Today's TOI-let says that the Knights have arrived in India but are stuck in Delhi due to weather issues. Their flight routing was Kubinka-Chelyabinsk-Delhi-Bangalore. Can someone from Palam/Hindon confirm their arrival??

Yes in fact referring to Phil Camp/Simon Watson's Su 30 photo book the armpits house the main undercarriage.

Folks, a quick question!

I bought weekday business pass at last. Can i use it only for a single day (Wed/Thu/Fri) or all three days on the same pass. Shiv earlier mentioned that previously he flogged one Business pass on all three days, but just want to be sure.
