Close-up video of Russia's Tor-M2 air defense missile system taking down a Ukrainian target.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has just released a video recording the Tor-M2 air defense system performing a combat mission in the direction of Krasny Liman, bombing Ukrainian targets.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Tor-M2 air defense missile system squadrons are on combat duty around the clock, covering the sky in the area where the attack units are operating, preventing the use of enemy attack and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Russia's Tor missile system is an advanced air defense system designed to counter a wide range of airborne threats, including aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

Tor-M2 is an upgraded version of Tor-M1, designed to protect ground units from attacks by anti-radar missiles, cruise missiles, guided bombs, aircraft, helicopters and UAVs. This system is considered the "last resort" in air defense missions when the target overcomes all other long- and medium-range air defenses.

The Tor-M2 air defense missile system is capable of detecting, locking on to targets and destroying four airborne targets simultaneously. It takes only 2 minutes for the system to take control of the firing point, start up and search before launching towards the target. The Tor-M2 is equipped with 9M338 missiles that can attack targets at a distance of up to 12 km and an altitude of up to 10 km.
