‘The Russian bagel’: Why the Tor-M2U air defense system is a class apart

The Tor-M2U air defense system, which some experts say is named in honor of the Norse god of thunder and lightning Thor, will be one of the main machines to feature in the May 9 parade on Moscow’s Red Square. The system is designed to destroy enemy weapons at short range as they fly towards their target at a radius of 15 kilometers (9.3 miles). Video courtesy of the Izhevsk Kupol factory.
