Work on the creation of a new SAM short range 9K331 "Tor-M1" to have been completed in the USSR 1983 year, Complex tests were held in 1984 year, and 1986 , a new complex entered service with the Soviet Army. The structure consists of SAM: fighting machine (BM) 9AZZO, surface-to-air missile (developing countries) 9MZZO, Freight loading vehicle, transport vehicle and repair facilities. BM 9AZZO is easily tracked armored GM-355 machine Minsk vehicle factory with large rotating tower, which placed avionics and 8 developing countries.
ZRK "Tor-M1» – video
Electronic equipment anti-aircraft missile system 9K331 "Tor-M1" It includes: 1) target detection station (SOC) with systems for identifying and stabilizing the antenna; 2) guidance station (SN) phased array (Phare) one target channel, Missile two channels and channel capture focal ZUR; 3) dedicated computer; 4) vertical launch device 8 developing countries; 5) home automation and equipment control prelaunch missiles; 6) navigation system; 7) system documentation combat operation process; 8) an autonomous power supply system on the basis of a turbomachine (GTD).
ZRK "Tor-M1» able to carry out reconnaissance purposes in motion and opens fire with a short stop. BM 9AZZO can simultaneously fire two missiles at a single target, running at intervals of not less 4 seconds. Protection against anti-radar missiles ensured their destruction in flight. After modernization 1991 he appeared SAM 9K331 "Tor-M1". more powerful computer was installed in the BM 9M331, allows simultaneous firing two goals, and SOC entered antijamming system more powerful and more sensitive receiver, as well as the equipment interface and communication with a more modern, What PU-12M, mobile control point "Rankings" 9S737. After the collapse of the USSR the car "Tor-M1" were built on the basis of a crawler transporter GM 5955 Mytishchi machine-building plant. 8 9M331 missiles are now collected in two missile launchers 9M334 module.
SOC 9K331 "Tor-M1» next round visibility and is capable of detecting planes at distances of up 27 km, and unmanned aerial vehicles – to 15 km. The computer is processing 24 targeting purposes and provides guidance on station, which, using PAR, begins to accompany these purposes. When starting the rocket catapult ejected vertically upward and move in the direction bombard targets. On high 20 m launches the main engine. guidance station quickly scanning beam phased arrays at the same time begins to accompany and flying missiles with a range 250 m.
The transfer of the flight control commands to the missiles aboard provided by the same beam PAR. 9MZZO missiles and 9M331 are solid fuel engines, high-explosive warhead and fuze noncontact. ZRK "Thor" and "Tor-M1»They are armed with anti-aircraft missile regiments (panzer divisions), consisting of a command post (machines equipped with a command and control processing MP22 and MP25 information, Radar 9S18 "Dome" detection, P-19, "Caste-2-2"), four batteries (by 4 BM 9AZZO or 9A331 and one control point PU-12M or "Rankings") and support units.
