The modernized target detection station is able to detect aircraft using stealth technologies.
The Tor-M2 is an upgraded version of the Tor-M1 missile systems.
The Tor-M2DT modification is designed to attack anti-radar and cruise missiles, aircraft, helicopters, UAVs, guided aviation bombs, and other aerial targets with 16 missiles even while in flight. It is capable of working in extremely low temperatures up to −50 degrees °C (-58 °F).
The Tor-M2DT is based on the chassis of the Vityaz DT-30 multi-purpose articulated tracked carrier.
The first production batch of 12 such anti-aircraft missile systems was deployed in Russia in 2018, with the first firing of the system taking place in July 2019 in the Arctic archipelago of Novaya Zemlya.
