Russian Army: Air Defence Ground Forces Live Firing (Russian Ministry of Defence Demo / Promo)

In this video of Russia's Ministry of Defence Army's Air Defence ground forces conduct a live fire demonstration.

The Tor missile system (NATO reporting name – SA-15 «Gauntlet») is an all-weather low to medium altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system designed for engaging airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision guided munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles and short-range ballistic threats (anti-munitions). It was also the first air defence system in the world designed from the start to shoot down precision guided weapons like the AGM-86 ALCM day and night, in bad weather and jamming situation. Tor can detect targets while on the move.

The air defense system was created to protect important administrative, economic, and military facilities from strikes of antiradar and cruise missiles, remotely piloted aircraft, glide-bombs, airplanes and helicopters.

With the crew of three people, the Tor-M2U system’s 12 ground-to-air missiles can hit targets flying at speeds up to 700 meters per second at a distance of 12 kilometers (7.4 miles) and an altitude of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). The system is able to hit four targets simultaneously. It can also hit targets on the move. The air defense system’s possibility to maintain ceaseless fire as it is moving makes the Tor-M2U the best in its class.

Kill probabilities are amazing:

- 0.92-0.95 against aircraft;

- 0.80-0.96 against helicopters;

- 0.60-0.90 against cruise missiles (with an effective range of around 5km/3 miles);

- 0.70-0.90 against precision munitions;

- 0.90 against UAVs.

The reaction time (from target detection to engagement) is 8 seconds, however, it can be somewhat longer (around 10 seconds) whilst in motion and firing in short halts. To facilitate this mode of operation, an auxiliary power unit (APU) is fitted so that the main engine can be shut down while the radar and missile system continue to operate when stationary, enabling long periods of readiness. Target threat classification is automatic and the system can be operated with little operator input. The high performance computing system combined with a passive electronically scanned array radar are the main reasons for the system’s high degree of accuracy, ability to intercept small, fast and highly maneuverable targets, and the very fast reaction times of the system.
