MOSCOW: Russian Vympel Design Bureau (part of Tactical Missiles Corporation) on Wednesday has remarked that it has arranged an engineering project that defines the conceptual design of a new small-size missile for the Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system.
Vympel Design Bureau has also gave out more details on the project stating that, “We have carried out considerable work and prepared an engineering project that defines the conceptual design of a new short-range small anti-aircraft missile as a whole and its integral parts for modernizing the Tor-M2 air defense system.”
Regarding the features of this air defense, sources state that Tor air defense system can control the designated airspace on its own and independently shoot down all air targets that are not identified by the friend or foe system.
The Tor-M2 comprises 16 vertically launched surface-to-air missiles with a striking range of up to 12 km and an altitude range of up to 10 km. An upgraded locator is capable of detecting aircraft based on the technology of reduced radar signature.
Earlier in October, Russian Ground Forces Commander-in-Chief Army General Oleg Salyukov gave statement on the project saying that Russia was developing a small-size missile for the Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system to fight tactical drones.
The Tor-M2 is designated to shield vital administrative facilities and the first echelons of ground forces against strikes by anti-radar and cruise missiles, gliding air bombs, aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles.
