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. Air target detection range – to 32 km, range – to 15 km.

SAM “Buk-M2” (NATO and USA – SA-17 Grizzly ("Grizzly")) – SAM medium range. Designed to destroy strategic and tactical aircraft, helicopters, including hovering, cruise missiles and other aerodynamic aircraft, in the whole range of their possible application, tactical ballistic and aviation missiles, guided air bombs in conditions of intense electronic and fire opposition of the enemy, as well as for shelling surface and ground radio-contrast targets.
