Description:
The Tor-M1 is a short range, mobile air defense system intended for engagement of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, and cruise missiles flying between medium and very low altitudes even in severe countermeasures environments. It comprises radar system, command and control interface, and eight 9M331 missiles as well as associated equipment. The entire Tor-M1 Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system is mounted on a single tracked armored vehicle.
The Tor-M1 fully automated system is able to perform air surveillance and missile firing, against two targets simultaneously, on the move. It protects Russian armored units against airborne threats.
In December 2005 Iran and Russia inked the sale of 29 Tor-M1 air defense systems valued at $700 million. Iran will use these systems to shoot down cruise missiles, gliding bombs and aircraft.
