Stopping to say TOR M1 has already told us for a long time. It's a different version of TOR and Pantsir new genre coming up

A couple of years ago there were rumors that iran wants to buy the umkhonto AD system. Iran might have copied the system after buying some batteries or there was some kind of a transfer of technology deal with South Africa.Is this supposed to be TOR-M1 copy?
It appears to be hot launch system from the exhaust trap underneath the canisters.

The Umkhonto-IR missile is a vertically-launched, high-velocity, infrared homing missilewww.deneldynamics.co.za
Combining the missile launcher and the radar doesn’t fundamentally change anything about the system. And besides the system is offered in multiple configurations. The one in the picture were the radar is separate from the launcher was done to increase the radar detection range. So it can engage low flying tragets like suicide drones and cruise missiles. Russians have the same configurations for their engagement radars as well.Systems are pretty different. For one, Iran’s combines the radar vehicle and the battery together.
Other than a somewhat similar resemblance in canisters the design seems pretty different. Until we see the missile I wouldn’t say it’s based on the South African system.

This is an article about a potential deal that might have concluded and was not publicly announced due to obvious reasons.

When a country is cash strapped they get desperate. Remember what the US did to their F14s so spare parts wouldn’t end up in Iran, they destroyed them.South Africa?
You must be kidding. Impossible considering the US imposed restrictions. SA is well within American sphere of influence.

Less than many others. Which is also why one of Iran's three major mobile phone networks is a joint-venture with South Africa's MTN Group. On the whole Pretoria has had a rather constructive relationship with Iran since the fall of the apartheid system, given Iran's significant support for the opposition to that regime.
Doesn’t mean SA just magically turned over ToT to Iran and somehow also hide the funds from the prying eyes of Uncle Sam.
It’s likely that Iran’s defense industry could have built the system on its own but it would have been cheaper to first acquire and breakdown the system. When the deal fell thru, Iran decided to proceed anyway and at a higher cost than if it had access to the system.
Iran has built MRAPs that look exactly like Strykers and other foreign MRAPs, did those companies also give Iran their blueprints?
