Short-range anti-aircraft missile system “Tor-M2” will become interspecific, a ship version of the complex will be added to the SAM line. About this in an interview with the magazine “National defense” told the general director of the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant “Dome” Fannie Ziyatdinov.
According to the director, from the moment it was put into service 1986 by SAM “Net” went through three waves of deep modernization. To date, work on the complex does not stop., The air defense system is being transferred to a modern element base, new versions are being created. In particular, the complex will receive a new wheeled floating chassis, there will also be a ship version, i.e. SAM “Net” will become interspecific.
(…) work is underway to modernize the complex as a whole, and its key units and devices. More advanced phased array antennas are being developed, passive detector, calculators. (…) doubled the range of data relay from the battery command post, the possibility of visual notification of the operator of the combat vehicle about the approach of targets from a distance of up to 90 kilometers, solved a number of other problems
– said Ziyatdinov.
Anti-aircraft missile system “Tor-M2” is an all-weather melee complex. It is able to cover strategic targets from cruise missiles, multiple rocket launchers, as well as loitering ammunition and drones. This is a deeply modernized complex of the family “Net”, different from previous models by the use of a new 9M338K missile. In addition, the ammunition load on the combat vehicle has been increased with 8 to 16 missiles. Fully automatic operation possible.
AT 2019 year, the Ministry of Defense signed with the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant “Dome” long-term contract for the supply of anti-aircraft missile systems to the troops “Tor-M2” and “Tor-M2DT”. An agreement worth almost 100 billion. rubles is designed for the supply of equipment up to 2027 of the year.
