New batteries of Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile systems have arrived in Belarus.
The Ministry of Defense calls the delivery “a vivid example of fruitful military-technical cooperation between the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation as part of improving the unified air defense system.”
“The arrival of a new batch of the Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system for the brigade increases combat capabilities and overall capacity to perform tasks of air defense coverage for designated facilities. The brigade’s personnel have mastered this type of missile system and are ready to employ it in any conditions.
The excellent rating received during live-fire exercises as part of an operational-tactical drill with the branches of the armed forces is compelling confirmation of this. This type of surface-to-air missile system has also proven itself well during the special military operation. It is highly mobile, has a short reaction time, and is capable of simultaneously destroying a wide range of aerial targets, including unmanned aerial vehicles,” said brigade commander Colonel Pavel Hrebenchuk.
The Ministry of Defense does not specify how many batteries arrived in Belarus. The most recent deliveries of Tor-M2 systems took place at the end of last year.
