Its to complete their integrated Air defences system, you cant just have all Long/Medium range SAMs Its can be used to engage cruise missiles, low flying aircraft and etc that Long/Medium Range SAMs can't.
Mission
The Tor-M1 air defence missile system is designed to protect ground troops and installations from attacks of air attack assets, especially precision-guided weapons, as well as fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, cruise missiles and remotely piloted vehicles.
The Tor-M1 is a state-of-the-art mobile allweather short-range ADMS with radar, optical and computer systems, launchers, surface-to air missiles and power supply units on board the combat vehicle. It can operate autonomously launching missiles on the move from short halts. The ADMS is highly immune to both active and passive ECM. Maximum automation of operation thanks to the use of a high-speed digital computer, coupled with the vertical launch and subsequent gas-dynamic declination (inclination) of the missile towards the target, ensure minimum reaction time possible. Automated control for the Tor-M1 ADMS battery is provided by the 9S737M unified battery command post.
Composition
The Tor-M1 ADMS includes combat, technical and auxiliary assets.
Typical combat assets include:
• up to four 9A331-1 CVs with two SAM modules on each;
• 9M334 missile modules with four 9M331 missiles in each;
• 9S737M battery command post.
Technical assets include:
• maintenance assets for the ADM system and its vehicles;
• missiles loading/unloading, storage and transportation facilities with rigging equipment;
• ADMS group set of spare parts, tools and accessories.
Auxiliary assets comprise 9F678 selfcontained simulator for CV operators. Each CV is equipped with life-support equipment, navigation and mission recording means. The CV onboard equipment can be mounted on either tracked or wheeled chassis, or in container. The Tor-M1 ADMS can be shipped by all transportation means, including aircraft.
