"Iranian Morpheus" shown before the Russian one
Chinese tried it with the FM-3000, but needed to spread it on two vehicles
What makes it special?
➡️ Multirole X-band AESA, multiple engagement
➡️ Omni directional missile launch (unlike Tor)
➡️ Less moving parts than rotating Tor

You may ask whats the deal about a Morpheus-like system?
Answer:
➡️ More continuous operation (protection)
➡️ Due to higher reliability lower energy demand
➡️ Due to less moving parts (not rotating turret), distributed RF energy source (TRMs)
➡️ Just one multi-role AESA radar

Now you may say the new Iranian SAM system uses a rotating radar and hence can't work in such a Morpheus/"Sleep" stand-by mode.
Answer: A battery of four could very well work like the Morpheus, each electronically scanning a 90° sector (but yet unconfirmed, too few information)
