For those who don’t want to be click bait on a junk page.
Thanks. I couldn’t decide whether to post the original or Pamela’s, so I posted her article. I like her commentary and she’s always in the fight.
The missile that they are connecting a battery to in the video is an air-to-air missile. This is a Russian copy of the AIM-9 Sidewinder known as the AA-2 Atoll (K-13). Plenty of these missiles were captured when they overran Syrian air force bases and storage depots. It looks likely that they may attempt to field these converted air-to-air missiles as surface to air missiles?
The US used to have a SAM system based on the Sidewinder.

You can see captured AA-2 Atoll air-to-air missiles at 3:08 in the following ISIS video.
