    I took that to mean twice the range not twice the weapons load. We will have to see.

    With the new Tor-M2 missiles, they will double the number of missiles from 8 to 16. But they also have increased range from 12 km to 15 km.

    Will Tor get a fire & forget missile any time soon?

    I hope not.

    Fire and forget capability makes each missile rather more expensive and a tiny seeker in the missile would be easier to defeat than the rather powerful and sophisticated electronics mounted on the TOR vehicle.


    The main advantage of fire and forget missiles is that in a saturation attack fire and forget missiles can be launched rapidly, whereas the current command guided missiles need guidance channels to control them limiting them to about 4 simultaneous targets at one time. The high speed of the missiles and the increase in missile numbers means that should be plenty though more sophisticated tracking radar should allow an increase in that performance factor a phased array with three to four faces covering 360 degrees would be the best solution.

    Very simply put the current radar system is amazing for a vehicle mounted air defence system, but having a tracking radar in the front means targets coming in from all directions at once requires a minimum of four vehicles for 360 degree coverage.

    Four face phased array radars for search and tracking functions means continuous 360 degree coverage and likely a large increase in the number of targets tracked and missiles guided to targets. An EO channel would add options in heavy jamming situations too.

    The advantage of the TOR and Pantsir systems was the fact that the missiles are simple and cheap so the system is cheap and easy to use against even drone targets.

    A few IIR or MMW radar guided missiles would make sense within a battery I suppose... the HERMES missile will be getting such sensors and will be used together with Pantsir batteries too.

    The automation of the TOR system is likely to allow fitting of the automated turret system onto the new platforms with unmanned turrets... I wonder if they will take the opportunity to make dramatic changes to the design... ie imagine an ARMATA vehicle with a tiny forward mounted turret and front mounted engine with the small turret consisting of a 3 or four faced array radar system with an EO ball on top for IIR detection and the rear deck consisting of an array of vertically stacked missiles in a large pallet. If they can fit 16 of the new missiles in the old turret they should be able to fit double that in the rear deck area of an armata tank with the engine at the front... 32 missiles ready to fire and being at the rear it could be module based and able to be removed in one piece and replaced with a fully loaded module for fast reloads.

    The three or four faced radar array would not need to rotate and could be fixed. the EO ball on top could be a mini turret with multiple optical ports looking in several directions at once including up and include the optics for the commander and perhaps a self defence MG and grenade launcher.

    Confirmed! Arctic variant of Tor-M2 is under development (platform and designation also confirmed)

    Kupol to develop Arctic variant of Tor-M2 SAM system

    Russia`s JSC Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol (a subsidiary of the Almaz-Antey Concern) is developing the Arctic variant of the Tor-M2 (NATO reporting name: SA-15 Gauntlet) mobile surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, according to the No.31603940773 notification published on the state acquisitions website.

    TOR Air Defence system - Page 11 Kupol_to_develop_Arctic_variant_of_Tor-M2_SAM_system_640_001
    The Tor-M2 SAM system

    The modification of the Tor-M2 SAM system for the troops deployed to the Arctic region is designated as Tor-M2DT (Russia`s MoD designation: 9K331DT). According to the notification, the system will be based on the DT-30PM tracked double-section tractor developed by the Vityaz Machine-Building Plant (Ishimbay, Bashkiria). The Tor-M2DT mobile launching unit (DT-30PM-T1, MoD designation: 9A331MDT) is supposed to include the 9A331MT launcher and a life support module. The DT-30PM-T1 vehicle will be complemented by the DT-30PM-T2 mobile maintenance workshop.

    According to the notification, the Kupol enterprise is to produce one DT-30PM-T1 mobile launching unit and one DT-30PM-T2 mobile maintenance workshop by October 30, 2016. The type tests of the new vehicles are scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2017. The company is to spend about RUB122 million (USD2 million) to conduct the aforementioned works.

    The tests of the Tor-M2KM anti-aircraft missile system on the frigate Admiral Grigorovich

    Interesting photo and video materials of the tests of the independent combat module of the short-range 9K331MKM short-range missile system Tor-M2KM, placed on the helicopter deck of the head frigate Admiral Grigorovich of Project 11356, conducted in the Black Sea in October 2016.

    TOR Air Defence system - Page 11 4017717_original

    According to the information of the JSC "Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant" Kupol ", the main task of the tests was to assess in practice the possibilities of using the Tor-M2KM missile defense system in the interests of the Navy. The tests gave a large amount of information on the impact of sea conditions on the combat operations of the Tor-M2 missile system and confirmed the wide possibilities of using the Tor-M2KM self-contained combat module.

    Possibly, but they might have just shackled a module to the deck just as a proof of concept thing or to carry out a couple of tests.

    With the recent problems of Shtil and Redut, they are probably looking for a quick alternative and testing Tor in its basic form if it will work on navy ships no problem. Then probably work quicker to use a navy variant of it as a temporary replacement for ships till Almaz Antey can get their shit together for their ship based AA systems.

    The Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile systems of the 538th anti-aircraft missile regiment in the 726th training center in Yeisk

    As recently reported on our blog, JSC Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol Concern Almaz-Antey under the state defense order put the first regimental kit of the 9K331M short-range anti-aircraft missile system Tor-M2, which went to re-equip the 538th Tarnopol Guards antiaircraft missile Order Aleksandra Nevskogo regiment, 4th Guards Kantemir tank division of the Western military District. at present, the staff of 538-th regiment trained at the new complex in the 726th training center of troops counter ozdushnoy Defense Ground Forces in Yeisk (Krasnodar region).

    Reporting (including video) about the retraining of staff of 538th regiment of the SAM "Tor-M2" in the 726th training center in Yeisk published March 25, 2017 local web resource www.yeisk.info.

    TOR Air Defence system - Page 11 4030748_original

    The bmpd comment. From the text of the report, it can be seen that the regiment of the Tor-M2 missile system is similar in composition to the pre-reform (up to 2009) anti-aircraft missile regiments equipped with early versions of the Tor missile system, and includes four batteries of four anti-aircraft missile systems in each A total of 16 combat vehicles).

    Recall that in 2016, the first two serial divisional kits of the new 9K331M "Tor-M2" SAM were delivered to the Russian Ground Forces, which marked the beginning of the serial production of this system at the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant "Kupol" JSC. "Tor-M2" Includes three fire batteries (total 12 combat vehicles).

    Ammunition of the combat vehicle of the Tor-M2 missile system is 16 new anti-aircraft guided missiles 9M338K.

    Actually they had enormous problems with the original naval TOR system... the Udaloy class was in service for several years before they got the guidance system fitted and working... matured into a very capable system however...
