I quite fancy the death mask. Makes it more deadly.Is it part of the Spyder kit or are all artillery units provided this as standard issue?
SPYDER -MR in service
@Falcon
Do you have the rfi document of navy for SR SAM? I think QR SAM fits in very well there too.
From today's test
No, it does not. QRSAM is tailor made for Army.
FYI
DAC Approves Procurement for Services amounting to Nearly Rs. 46,000 Crores

The India Air Force on Friday successfully test fired Israeli SPYDER air defence missile system from Pokhran Test Range. The SPYDER (Surface-to-air PYthon and DERby) is an Israeli short and medium range mobile air defence system developed by Rafael Advanced Defence Systems with assistance from Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). This is seen as a bid to strengthen its preparedness to strike down any aerial threat from Pakistan.
"The SPYDER missile system is already in the process of deployment along the western borders where it will help in tackling any aircraft, cruise missile, surveillance plane or drone that tries to violate our airspace," senior defence sources had told MAIL TODAY.
What is SPYDER?
The SPYDER is a low-level, quick-reaction surface-to-air missile system capable of engaging aircraft, helicopters, unmanned air vehicles, drones, and precision-guided munitions. The system is fitted atop a Tatra truck, a Mercedes-Benz Actros truck, a MAN TGS truck, Scania P-series truck, Dongfeng truck, or a TELAR. It implements the Python-5 and Derby missiles of the same company.
"The IAF will use the SPYDER along with the made-in-India Akash surface-to-air missile which has a little longer effective range of 25 km as part of a layered approach to defend vital assets and locations in the country," sources told India Today.
As a short range air defence system, the SPYDER-SR has a short range of interception. The maximum altitude of interception is 9 km and the maximum range of interception is 15 km.
The SPYDER-MR has a greater operation range of 35 km and an altitude engagement of 16 km due to the missiles being equipped with boosters.

And are both MR versions?
The SIPRI in 2014 reported 18 SPYDER-MRs along with 750 Python-5 surface to air missiles (SAMs) and 750 Derby SAMs has been delivered. This is from 2014 and the number is of delivered missiles not ordered, so by now the numbers have changed.
I don't know how many which service uses.
