Does do battle management if you're getting into this. There does appear to be an army tata truck version coming but not IOC yet.

Ok some updates.

Missiles seem to be Barak-8 which Indian calls MR SAM (not to be confused with Barak MR:) Missiles do look different and despite claims most pictures seem to show a Barak-8 with no apparent booster (Barak-8ER has a booster). So vanilla Barak-8 to start.
