Natural success

Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol" is one of the leading enterprises of the Russian defense industry and a very serious competitor to Western manufacturers of anti-aircraft missile systems (ZRK). In October of this year, for more than two weeks, the plant demonstrated to its Indian customers the operation of the Tor-M2KM air defense missile system with combat and technical equipment in a modular design on the TATA chassis manufactured in India. Specialists of the plant told NVO that they were very pleased with the shooting, which was able to show all the advantages of their offspring. In addition, they noted that the firing tests once again confirmed the leading position of the Tor family of air defense systems on the world arms market and that new modifications could be created on the basis of this air defense system.



TOR - TODAY AND TOMORROW RUSSIAN AIR PROTECTION

In the competitive development of air attack weapons and air defense equipment, a trend has emerged long ago, within the framework of which the field of opposition to these types of weapons has moved into the sphere of extremely small heights. That is what determines the formulation of requirements for short-range air defense systems today, including:

- defeat high precision weapons (anti-radar missiles guided aviation bombs, cruise missiles), manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles;

- high probability of hitting high-speed, diving, low-flying and maneuvering targets;

- the ability to hit targets flying with a large exchange rate parameter (on the covered object);

- high noise immunity;

- short reaction time (time from the appearance of the first mark from the target on the radar to the launch of the rocket);

- channel on the target and the rocket (the ability to simultaneously hit several targets);

- Sufficiency of a set of missiles for solving all problems.

Short-range air defense systems of the Tor family of IEMZ Kupol production, such as Tor-M2E, Tor-M2K and Tor-M2KM, fully meet all these requirements. They were designed to combat various modern means of air attack and are designed to destroy the WTO (anti-radar missiles, guided and planning aerial bombs) and various maneuvering, high-speed manned and unmanned aerial weapons, capable of operating around the clock at extremely low, low and medium altitudes, with speeds up to 700 m / s or using active and passive intentional interference. These air defense missile systems were created as “complexes of the last frontier”, which are the main combat means of fighting the massive attacks of the WTO directly over the battlefield. They provide effective air defense of military units on the march, in places of permanent or temporary deployment and in all mobile forms of modern combat, as well as the protection of important state and military facilities. At the present stage, the Tor system is the only weapon in the world that can simultaneously hit four targets on the principle of “one rocket - one goal”.

HONORED VICTORY

The best evidence of the leading position of the Tor family’s air defense system on the world arms market are the results of firing tests conducted both on Russian test sites and on the territories of foreign countries.

From 30 September to 17 in October 2014 of the year at the test site of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation "Kapustin Yar" tests of the Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile system in a modular design were performed on the TATA chassis of Indian production.

The purpose of the tests of this complex was primarily to test its characteristics as part of a tender announced by the MoD of India for the purchase of two anti-aircraft missile regiments that will repel the attack of the enemy in the affected area up to 15 km. The tests were organized in accordance with the terms of reference prepared by the tender commission, and were conducted with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and India. The company was supposed to show the action of the Tor-MHNUMXKM air defense system in combat conditions and answer all questions of interest to representatives of the military department of the potential customer.

The demonstration starts were the culmination of the test. Shooting took place in two stages. According to the conditions of the first mission, the target, the role of which was fulfilled by the Saman rocket, was fired at daylight with two rockets simultaneously. The target was hit by the very first missile at a distance of more than 15 km, at an altitude of about 5 km. Another missile for a given program went on self-destruction. At the second stage, a small-sized target was hit at night. His goal was a UAV, moving at an altitude of about 0,5 km. And this target was also hit by one rocket. The complex brilliantly performed the shooting, showing one-hundred-percent result, and also underwent full sea trials on a specially prepared challenging track and all the tests for trouble-free continuous operation. These results were the logical outcome of the IEMZ due to the high quality of the equipment, the excellent performance of the crew and the precise organization of the tests. The tender commission rated the work of the Tor-M2KM complex at a high level.

Specialists of the company talk about the great prospects of the Tor-M2KM air defense missile system. Today it is the only type of such weapon capable of providing air defense of large cities within the city limits, the most important military, industrial and government facilities, railway junctions, naval bases, airfields, arsenals, etc. The developers managed to create a compact, fully autonomous combat module, which can be placed at the request of the customer on a variety of platforms, including car chassis, semi-trailers, trailers, railway platforms and decks of light-duty ships. It can also be installed on special frames and operate in a stationary mode. Currently, the principle of modular construction of various systems of weapons and military equipment is used by developers in all countries of the world. However, analogues of Tor-MXNXKM air defense systems simply do not exist today.

As part of the tender program, all the declared characteristics of the complex were once again demonstrated. The experience of the production of the Tor-MXNUMKKM air defense missile system and the results of the tests carried out, as noted by the Kupol specialists, will make it possible to create its new modifications. The company is actively working to further improve the complex in these areas, and its management is confident in the solution of all tasks.

        Urals can and how

        It's not very simple with them. One thing is a ready-made model, the other is to launch a new one, which is always more difficult
        And the military is somehow against the cars of the wagon lineup, they are more satisfied with the bonnet
        Developments are dark and have been developing for a long time
        A family of floating Ural terrain trucks "Susha"
        A few years ago, the Russian government’s decree for No.1091 of 11 of September 1998 of the year fell into our hands. It was called "On the withdrawal from armament (supply) of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of samples of military vehicles" and was signed by the acting Prime Minister Viktor Mikhailovich Chernomyrdin. So, the tenth paragraph in this extremely interesting document is the Susha family of unified army vehicles (Ural-4322, -5323, -43222, -43224, -53234, -4422, -44221-862).
        But the disaster, so that it’s empty, made her crappy thing
        It was decided to organize capacities for the production of 20 thousand licensed engines per year for GAZ (6-cylinder) and UralAZ (V8) in the Kazakh SSR, in the city of ... Kustanai
        Everything is not ours, and now I can not hear about these engines

And why do you plan to tow only on the road? In addition, tractors towed a lot of trailers, such as TZM, pontoon parks, equipment rooms. Is it also only a place on a hard surface?

      Quite the opposite. Only at the training ground can equal conditions be achieved for several air defense systems (or anti-tank systems or generally the same equipment). During combat operations, there are always a huge number of factors affecting effectiveness. Not to mention that you need to have accurate information to evaluate effectiveness and this is always a problem
      But, generally speaking, it will be possible to speak about success when the contract is signed. Then you can also pull champagne

            no. For a long time there are technologies and parts that are not afraid of certain doses of radiation. And about the failure in the explosion, there is a double-edged sword: the smaller the part, the more difficult it is to get into it, the fatter the cable, the easier it is to interrupt. Here the optimum is necessary.

      You correctly noticed. Tor-m1 is precisely the development of the 80-90s. Accordingly, the entire elemental base of the 80-90s. Replacing the element base - it’s not just that they changed the handkerchief with transistors to a handkerchief with microcircuits. And change the design documentation, and check this solution in practice. There is a concept of a technological process of production. Even replacing one board will entail significant changes in this process. Want to see SMD components? So there is Tor-M2.

    Thor 1m was on a tracked chassis and was to be used in the orders of the armored forces as well as the tunguska. The article explicitly states that the Tor 2 can be mounted on any chassis, judging by the photos and on the airmobile. Moreover, the manufacturer directly speaks of the modular design of air defense. Thus, one must understand that the complex has the ability to change the number of modules with anti-aircraft missiles depending on the tasks. Well, the last one, if the first Torah had the opportunity to receive target directions from the Kola Dome radar, then why do we refute the possibility of receiving new cosplex information from the machines of one battery or the Zoo complex?

And EMP can be well dealt with by simply shielding sensitive blocks and introducing protection schemes, so the statement that they put "old stuff" there because it is reliable is this is due to the lack of knowledge in this area. As a person not the last in the field of electronics, you probably noticed a clear "stagnation" in the electronic filling of the complex.

    electronic engineer -7300, satellite antenna installer (private office) - 15000-26000 (prices are 8 years ago)
    there is a desire to create, but there is no way to live ...
    even more so, the engineer crossed modern computers and ancient "dinosaur testers" of the late 70s and early 80s
    Fun! :(
