ZRK "Tor": what is known
"Tor" is a Russian short-range anti-aircraft missile defense system for solving anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense tasks at the division level.
The system is designed to cover military facilities, the first echelons of land connections from anti-radar and cruise missiles, remotely piloted aircraft, and aerial bombs.
It can work both manually, with the participation of operators, and in automatic mode. At the same time, the "Tor" system itself controls the specified airspace and independently captures all aerial targets not recognized by the "own-alien" system.
