The crew of the Tor-M1 anti-aircraft missile system (SAM) managed to destroy an American-made Switchblade loitering munition at an altitude of 200 meters. The details of the combat episode were told by anti-aircraft gunner Anton Klimov.
We heard a sound, dispersed to our positions. We look - a Switchblade is flying. The altitude was somewhere around 150–200 meters, we started working. When the Switchblade went for the second round, we shot it down.
Klimov added that the Switchblade 600 is a difficult target, as it moves very quickly, but the crew managed to cope with it.
The Ministry of Defense noted that the modern radar equipment of the Tor-M1 allows operators to easily and accurately detect air targets in its area of responsibility and effectively destroy them. The complex can detect a target at a distance of 30 km and hit it at a range of up to 15 km.
The accuracy of combat use allows the crew to eliminate up to eight air targets using one ammunition load.
