Small ships of the Russian Navy equipped with Tor-M2KM combat modules

The newest warships entering service with the Russian Navy are equipped with modern naval Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM).

The first example of the effective use of naval SAM systems was the "July Storm" exercise, which took place from July 23 to 27 under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Alexander Moiseev.
