The crew of the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) shot down a Neptune-MD cruise missile with a small-sized, highly maneuverable 9M338K anti-aircraft guided missile (SAM). The SAM's overload reached 40 units.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation noted that the combat capabilities of the complex make it possible to provide reliable protection during the march, occupation of areas, as well as to cover the firing positions of missilemen and artillerymen.
It is worth recalling that the flight speed of the 9M338K SAM is 1000 m/s, the range is 16 km with a target speed of up to 910 m/s. Interception height - 12 km.
The small-element PFAR guidance radar of the X-band is equipped with four target channels.
At the same time, the Tor-M2 has not exhausted the possibilities for modernization, the system is equipped with electronic warfare systems and additional armor. Military expert Viktor Murakhovsky noted that one missile is enough to destroy a target in most cases.
