Pikachu apparently watches over the skies with this ita-radar/SAM system, in what we can only hope is an unlicensed after-market decal, rather than anything the system was sold with in an official capacity.
The source and model of the unit is unknown, but it appears to be part of the Russian SA-10 surface-to-air missile radar system… Just what Pikachu is doing here remains a mystery.








pokemon has become so awesome theyre starting to build their own army.
Perhaps a poorly executed Pika-spy...
Soon, our very own Ita-Poke-vehicles and merchandise will be tracked down - with hopes of gathering the largest Techno-pokemon-otaku army known to man - largely consisting of 19 year olds, who were fans of the product back in their childhood, and still are now (secretly).
Nothing secret about it. I'm 20 and openly say I love pokemon.
I then get teased by thirteen year olds...
Hm, maybe most ARE in hiding...
Nah, i LOL'd at those macho millitary dewds who puts a Pikachu pictures on their armaments XD
GameFreakLand
me
Why would they need an army when they themselves are weapon of mass destruction???
touche
The SA-10 has a much larger missile canister (twisce the size) than this so I doubt it.
That isn't a canister, it's part of the radar system, that's why you got lightning bolts and Pikachu all over it.
Yeah, realized it after I posted.
Anyway I still doubt it to be the SA-10...
who gave you permission to post a picture of my loli-radar.
BTW it has to be this big when searching for flatness.
hahahahahahah
epic
Yeah... Gonna catch 'em all...
I choose you... "Taiga!" Smother them wiht your flatness!!
Get your filthy fucking hands off of her. The only balls she's coming in are mine.
You can have her. She gets older and still doesn't Evolve!
Oh, they created a real-life Pokeradar!
Now they just have to make it more compact.
clever.
Ooo...
I wonder my Iphone can turn into a pokedex?
I'm guessing it's because Pikachu shoots thunderbolts, and if you look in the background there appears to be SAM launchers.
I Need me an Ita- Sam site so I can kill me some north korean missles.
excellent choice of words there
=o
Is it just me or does it looked photoshoped?
Pikachu is Watching You!
Why on Earth is anyone sobored as to shop something like that?
Probably the same reason why we're on Sankaku.
lol what you doing in russia pikachu
In communist Russia pokemons catch you!!!!
lol
lol
If there was something like that in Japan, N. Korea wouldn't be a threat. But Japan has their Gundam so it's alright.
I'm guessing Team Rocket is using it to hunt Pikachu down.
"See kids? War is fun!"
pokeball = bullet
soldier = trainer
other soldier = pokemon
Gotta Catch em all!
i´m going to use my masterball
masterball = rocket missile
that should catch EVERTHING
mwhahahahhaha
Perhaps the radar is powered by an entire legion of comrade pikachus
Cant use thunder as a armor no more bitch
korea will throw pokeballs :-D
Looks photoshopped to me.
Photoshopped!!!!
Those that used to say that Pokémon is for kids have to reconsider their choice of words. Or else they might get blown up...
Article misses the photoshop tag...
Dude, one of those stealth planes with a Mewtwo on the side of it will own that pika-radar.
I'll just leave it here:

First one looks shopp'd... (ain't the colours too bright?) There is an article about itajets here @ SC, if I remember correctly...
Indeed

That includes the image from above and 2 others
In a related story Pikachu added to a jet in what must be an attempt to make it fly faster

SAM site used MISSLE attack! It's super effective! Enemy BOMBER fainted!
I can see Solid Snake sneaking around in his camo, spraying Pikachu all over enemy's military hardware
Looks like the soviet has perfected the ultimate tesla coil
In before ita-panzers with moe decals.
seriously? this hasnt been photoshoped?
Looks like a bad shoop.
It still could be real you don't know that,
Tis real. Check the side.
Pikachu is there because Pikachu stickers make everything work better :P
Mah Pokemans, let me show you them.
"Just what Pikachu is doing here remains a mystery"
...providing extra power, perhaps?
If some other army uses ground type missiles that radar won't work...
I like to have one in my house XD
It's not an SA10 (SA10 is a trailer mounted launcher, and that looks like a truck cab and flatbed).
Nobody said it was the launcher - it appears to be part of the radar trailers.
The radars the SA10 uses don't look like that one, the type of trucks used are also different. If anything it more closely resembles a N-11. But I don't think its an N-11 either.
Well... electric types are stronger against flying types
especially now that they get Lock On
it´s time to use THUNDER-ROCKETS perhaps ?
I know, let's put in an order for a Pikachu decal for our highly advanced radar...
The Russians are creating their own pokemon with the hopes that the world will start copying them too.>..<
Probably an attempt at summoning Pikachu's thunderbolt to supercharge their radar system they got there. What they didn't know was that it'll more than likely cause their contraption to explode and make their rockets blast off.
Again.
A misinterpretation of stray Pokemon broadcasts that made their way into Russia perhaps?
