Strengths if Vietnam owns Tor-M2KM weapon system

In the list of defense products Vietnam purchased from Russia in recent years, it is surprising to see the Tor-M2 system appear.

According to the list of weapons purchased by Vietnam, published by Sputnik, there are Kilo submarines, Su-30MK2 fighters, S-300PMU1 systems... and Tor-M2 air defense systems. This is the second time Russian media has mentioned this information.

In late 2014, this source also announced that Vietnam was possessing a number of weapons that had never been made public, namely the Tor-M2 air defense missile system. These systems are superior to the S-75 complex that the Soviet Union provided to Vietnam.

Russia conducts exercises with Tor-M2 system.

Although this is only information published by Russian media, in the recent reappearance of the special version Tor-M2KM at the KADEX 2016 Defense Exhibition in Kazakhstan, this air defense missile system uses the Kamaz-63501 4-wheel drive off-road truck chassis, making many people hope for the above speculations.

The Tor-M2KM appeared in a new outfit on a KAMAZ vehicle while this type of off-road military truck is increasingly being favored by the Vietnamese Army for use in anti-aircraft artillery systems, round-view surveillance radars and domestically produced low-altitude radars, the above Tor-M2KM version may also have been targeted by "Vietnam".

And if Tor-M2KM is present in the mobile air defense units of Vietnam, it will be a pleasant surprise because it possesses so many outstanding advantages such as:

The combat vehicles are equipped with radar, optical and computer-controlled missile reconnaissance and control equipment, launch tanks with ready-to-launch missiles, and an organic power generation system, allowing the vehicle to operate independently in combat with the ability to launch missiles during short stops on the move.

The high degree of synchronization between the digital element computer and the vertical launch system with the missile guided by the auxiliary charge after leaving the launch tank allows the system to minimize the time for preparing to fire.

In particular, this missile complex is capable of destroying cruise missiles and anti-radar missiles flying at super low altitudes at only 5 meters. This new version is capable of tracking and practicing shooting to destroy 4 targets at the same time, twice as much as the Tor-M1. Almost no target can pass through the fire zone it has set up.

The Tor-M2KM complex is also equipped with a comprehensive set of support and combat support equipment, including simulated combat equipment for crew training. Of course, the vehicles are equipped with living tools, navigation equipment and work logs.
