The Tor-M2 and Buk-M3 anti-aircraft missile systems are the main anti-aircraft systems used during a special military operation in Ukraine directly to cover the advancing troops. The work of the Tor-M2 air defense system is described in a new video presented by the Ministry of Defense.
According to the Russian military, the anti-aircraft group deployed in the Donbas covers ground troops from manned enemy aircraft, as well as drones and cruise missiles. As the commander of the calculation of the Tor-M2 air defense system named Egor states in the video, the complex "clicks like nuts" any targets. In addition to the direct protection of ground targets, the Tor-M2 air defense system has another task - it covers the more powerful Buk-M3 air defense systems. Basically, these complexes work in conjunction.
AFU units conduct a special hunt for Russian air defense systems, so anti-aircraft systems often change positions without ceasing to control the sky.
- told the commander of the calculation of the SAM Egor.
The Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system is an all-weather melee complex. It is capable of covering strategic objects from cruise missiles, multiple launch rocket systems, as well as barrage ammunition and drones. This is a deeply modernized complex of the Tor family, which differs from previous models by using the new 9M338K missile. In addition, the combat vehicle has increased the carrying ammunition from 8 to 16 missiles. The range of detection of air targets is up to 32 km, the range of destruction is up to 15 km
