Tor missile system

The Tor missile system is an all-weather, short-range surface-to-air missile system designed to destroy airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, and short-range ballistic threats. It was developed by the Soviet Union and is commonly known by its NATO reporting name, SA-15 "Gauntlet". The system is designed to shoot down guided weapons day and night, in bad weather and jamming situations, and can detect targets while on the move. The Tor system is mounted on a 9A330 combat vehicle, which carries a crew of four and acts as an autonomous Transporter, Launcher, And Radar unit. The system has a reaction time of 7-8 seconds and can be transported by any transport means, including aerial. The Tor system has undergone modernization efforts, including the development of the Tor-M2 system, and has received "fine-tuning" to improve its performance against missiles fired by the US-made HIMARS system.learn more on wikipedia
