Nor have I. The only land based medium SAM of recent development we have seen so far was the KS-1A, which apparently can use the same phase array fire control radar as the HQ-9. I have not seen anything in land that would use an Orekh.

Even then, it won't be compeitition with the Tor M1.

Have we even seen the HQ-16?

But Tor-M1 isn't being replaced by Hq-16. it is being replaced by the HQ-7, which has better range now, jamming, and almost as good low alt. performance, which is supplemented by the DK-9 system. (Tor: 10m, HQ-7: 15m, DK-9: 10m)
