It would take longer than that just to disconnect the cables, lower the launcher and radar, get everything secured for travel, etc. I would imagine that there are ground jacks for stability, etc to get in place too.

This emphasis on how fast can they set up and break down is a way overblown imo. I'm sure it takes a lot longer to actually do in practice than is claimed in the brochures.
Guess you're right that's under optimal conditions. I think I'd give it about 15 minutes but that's just a guess. Their mobility is severly impaired if they have their radar masts deployed and without those their horizon is impaired.
