Tor M1 can detect and track up to 48 targets (minimum radar cross section of 0.1 square meter) at a maximum range of 25 km, and engage two of them simultaneously, at a speed of up to 700 m/sec, and at a distance of 1 to 12 km. The system's high lethality (aircraft kill probability of 0.92-0.95) is maintained at altitude of 10 – 6,000 m'.
Our friends--the Russians.
Why not indeed.
I hope the Chechnyans take the whole bunch out.
Then they will see why not.
Russians are making a big mistake...........
I wish this system great HARM.
First In, Last Out.
Worthless crap. The TOR system cannot reach our (and Israels) planes.
They can share in Iran's fate then. Iran's nutjob has openly stated his desire to see the destruction of Israel and the United States. Russia is openly stating this so they can share in the fate of what they are trying to do by proxy.
The performance on this thing are not competitive compared to a HARM equiped Wild Weasal. The main danger this thing poses is rapidly depleting our munitions and taxing the logistics chain.
Should I hope they got paid up front for worthless crap that won't do the Iranians any good (same as it did for the Iraqis in 2003), or should I hope they extended credit and get stiffed when the new Regime in Tehran says, "S---- you, we aren't paying for our predecessors mistakes!"
Decisions, decisions.
It's kind of sad to watch Iran waste its money on this kind of thing. They could be doing well economically.
And was tested extensively against Russian-made aircraft....
