Short-range anti-aircraft missile systems of the Tor family have proven themselves well on the front lines. Now they have begun to be installed on Russian ships, noted the former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force for the Unified Air Defense System of the CIS, Lieutenant General Aitech Bizhev.
The Tor anti-aircraft systems have proven themselves at the highest level, hitting all aircraft. Therefore, the safety of the ship will increase.
Bizhev emphasized that the Tor effectively intercepts maneuvering and low-altitude high-speed targets. The complex is capable of shooting down targets at medium and low altitudes.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Tor-M2KM began to be installed on small missile ships. This is the latest modification of the SAM system, made according to the modular principle.
