SAM "Tor-M2" will enter the air defense system of the Kaliningrad region




According to the Ministry of Defense, the latest Tor-M2 anti-aircraft systems will go into service with the 22nd Baltic Air Defense Regiment fleet. The delivery of air defense systems is planned before the end of the year. In the air defense system in depth in the Kaliningrad defense region, the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft systems play the role of a cover system for long-range S-300B4 and medium-range Buk missile defense systems against anti-radar and cruise missile attacks.

The Tor-M2 complexes are guaranteed to destroy anti-radar and cruise missiles, and also effectively fight medium and large unmanned aerial vehicles. Such characteristics of anti-aircraft systems will reliably protect long-range and medium-range air defense systems from missiles located in Poland

- said the ex-deputy commander of the air defense forces of the Ground Forces in Arms - the chief engineer of the air defense forces of the SV, Lieutenant General Alexander Luzan.

Anti-aircraft missile system "Tor-M2" is an all-weather close combat system. It is capable of covering strategic targets from cruise missiles, multiple rocket launchers, as well as loitering ammunition and drones. This is a deeply modernized complex of the Tor family, which differs from previous models by the use of a new 9M338K missile. In addition, the ammunition load on the combat vehicle has been increased from 8 to 16 missiles. The detection range of air targets is up to 32 km, the range of destruction is up to 15 km.

    The air defense of the Kaliningrad region is now a very strong nut, which can only be cracked at a very high price. Compared to the nineties and the beginning of zero, the difference is striking.

        I do not share, but differentiate, according to the type as the large and small homeland.

      Shell and Thor have different tasks, although they are of the same class. But IMHO, I'm not an air defense officer, I could be wrong. But I think an extra fist to repel "God forbid really blow" will not be superfluous for sure.

        Thor can work in motion, covering the same S-300V4 division when relocating to a reserve position. The carapace in the movement of targets is unlikely to work.

            Of course, like Shilka. Only on earth does Thor not work.

    The carapace refers to the object air defense, and Thor to the air defense of the Ground Forces

      And also C-400 and armor. They in the Kaliningrad region were among the first to stand on duty.
      And taking into account the size of the region, less than 200 km in length as much as possible, plus we’ll take into account the possibility of detecting the Navy. Hedgehog went out.

    Again CSKA fit in the diocese of the air forces? smile
    Seriously, taking into account the size of the Kaliningrad region, it makes little sense to divide its air defense into military air defense and air defense troops - they have approximately the same covering facilities. They will have to split up only if the naval plan for their army corps drang nah Warsaw or drang nah Vilno (or even Riga). smile

    I don’t really understand why build up a military group in the Kaliningrad region? Isn’t it more logical to blow up with iskanders at targets in Europe and quickly dissolve into a peaceful place, and partisan quietly, because it is already clear that the region will also be in blockade and through a tribalt will not break the corridor in two days. Does Bialystok really teach nothing.
