Tor-M2E Air Defense System
DESCRIPCIÓN DEL SISTEMA
The Tor-M2E is a mobile short-range air defense system acquired by Algeria to fill the low-altitude gap between Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2E coverage layers. Specifically designed to intercept small and fast-moving targets including cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions, UAVs, and helicopters, it represents a lessons-learned procurement after conflicts where precision-guided munitions penetrated older air defenses.

Radar cross-section management at this level requires trade-offs in payload capacity that tacticians need to understand.
