    Is it mounted on a Romanian made 'Roman' truck. Maybe a 33.460 DFAS?

    It does not look fake... too messy for that. It looks like crew did see something worrying and started to run.

    Well if this is legit, looks like the russians found a new lego set to take apart. Now that's a trophy.

    Wow, nice find. Look like this confirms it, Georgia did have the SPYDER system.

    There is also this video, where a Python seeker was found in South Ossetia

    Yeah, looks like it. I don’t think the SPYDER can launch Python 4.

    How convenient. Somehow I doubt this piece of equipment was merely "abandoned".

    So this pics confirm, SPYDER was used in South Ossetia war and as far as it is known now it didn't shot down any plane. Anyway Geogia have till now the most modern air defense in war and the strongest comparing to the size of fighting units.
