Crews of the Tor anti-aircraft missile systems of the Western group of forces work in the Kupyansk directionShow more

The unique capabilities of the complex allow crews to provide reliable protection for troops during the march, establishing crossings, occupying areas, as well as firing positions of rocket and artillerymen. An important task for the crews of the anti-aircraft missile system is to provide cover for Russian convoys, as well as to combat the enemy’s ubiquitous unmanned aerial vehicles.

As soon as any air object that does not respond to a “friend or foe” request enters the area of ​​responsibility, the crews take it under escort and are ready to hit the target. It takes the crew several minutes to put the complex into combat position. You can see the antenna rising into the air; this is a target detection station. A protective dome with a diameter of more than 30 kilometers is formed. The detection station scans the sky 360 degrees. The guidance and tracking station automatically identifies and locks on the most dangerous targets. Including 3 people. Together they last a year and a half on this machine. We were in different sectors of the front.

Tor immediately detects up to 48 targets. Anything larger than one and a half centimeters. The complex displays the most dangerous ones on the monitor, and the crew takes them for escort. The image is displayed on the screen of an electronic optical viewer - it’s like powerful binoculars with a thermal imager. Recognizes the threat in any weather and time of day. They destroy targets with anti-aircraft guided missiles.
