The vehicle shown in the deleted post, and the same one driving on the road, appear to be a pure TEL vehicle from the BUK system, without an integrated radar (not a TELAR vehicle)...
"A standard Buk battalion consists of a command vehicle, target acquisition radar (TAR) vehicle, six transporter erector launcher and radar (TELAR) vehicles and three transporter erector launcher (TEL) vehicles. A Buk missile battery consists of two TELAR and one TEL vehicle."
So a TEL vehicle would also require a feed from a TELAR or a TAR vehicle.
Though I'm just learning about all this, so I could be completely wrong.
