The "Tor-M2" short-range anti-aircraft missile systems are capable of intercepting Western low-observable tactical cruise missiles SCALP-EG and Storm Shadow.
One of the operators of the military air defense system with the call sign Staf noted that the SCALP-EG marker on the indicator of the "Tor-M2" circular radar detector is detected "at the last moment".
Obviously, the operator means the detection range closest to the "dead zone" of the air defense system - about 7-8 km on a flat terrain and 4-5 km in the case of elevated areas and hills and slag heaps. As a result, the temporary "window" for interception by a 9M338K anti-aircraft missile can be 12-18 seconds.
In the terminal section of the trajectory, when SCALP-EG implements an exit to an echelon of 100 - 150 m to capture the IR signature of the target, the phenomenon of the terrain screen is leveled and the temporary "window" for interception for "Tor-M2U" expands to 35 seconds.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the acceleration of the Su-57M fighter from 600 to 1100 km/h is reduced to 8.5 seconds thanks to the upgraded engine .
