Several batteries of the Tor-M2 SAM system (units consisting of four combat vehicles) have arrived in Belarus. This indicates effective Russian-Belarusian cooperation to improve the unified air defense system, the Belarusian Defense Ministry said.
The Tor-M2 SAM system (produced at the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol) provides effective air defense for important facilities and can perform tasks in all weather conditions.
The arrival of a new batch of the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system for the brigade is an increase in combat capabilities.
