The most impressive SAM launcher for me would definitely be the Indian Army's MRSAM launcher. The way it is designed to desguise itself is really appreciable.

What about you guys?
For me it has to the Indian Army's Akash-NG launcher.
Multi-function radar, Comamnd and Control, firing module, Power supply all integrated onto a single vehicle

Aahh...so we are playing this game, fine

Lemme present you the og Prithvi launcher
PRITHVI_MISSILE_LAUNCHER-e1657857508123.jpg

Perhaps the most off-road capable ballistic missile launcher in service, every other launcher looks like a tableau for R-Day parade.
As close to those sneaky Russian road mobile launcher as we could get

Because we don't want to pretend to be powerful. The whole world knows we have nuclear tech, even if our ballistic missile miss by as much as a kilometer it won't matter much for the target. In Iran's case, they're having literally nothing to seriously scare USA so they try to exaggerate everything as much as possible.

As for BrahMos, we have quite a lot of pride about its accuracy and impact. But given the sad state of PR we don't push those as marketing.

See this pic of BrahMos

It's CEP should be so good that if you target a particular floor in the superstructure of a ship then it would hit that spot...but we still need a lot more years to match the PR of even Turkiye

IAF still uses the P-19 Flat Face B 2D UHF band radar. Its usually associated with S-125 Pechora SAM where it's used as the dedicated low altitude surveillance and acquisition radar.

IAF uses this mostly as a standalone surveillance radar. Its USP is because of its longer wavelength, it can better detect and track fighter and below sized LO and VLO acs and cruise missiles. Has a max range of 260 km.

EL/M 2106 Atar . Its a 3D Aesa L band radar and is used as a surveillance, target acquisition and fire control radar of Spyder SR. Has a 70-110 km range against fighter sized targets and 40-60 range against RPA and micro lights. Range for a hovering helicopter is 40 km . Mounted on a Tatra 817 .

These are from the latest IAF IA joint exercise.
