First photos of some of the SPYDER Air Defense System components for the Philippine Air Force including the SPYDER MR missile firing unit, field supply vehicles, and missile supply vehicles have been posted by MaxDefense.

This appears to be the first-ever photos available of the Philippine Air Force SPYDER Air Defense System which is now confirmed to be the SPYDER Medium Range variant.

The system used Czech-made Tatra offroad heavy-duty trucks which is also a giveaway to determine the variant used.

It remains to be seen and confirmed if the Radar Units and Command and Control Units have been delivered as well, since the Radar is one of the important features to determine how capable the system is, being the SPYDER eyes and ears.
