In an important revelation by the end of September this year, Russia unveiled its cutting-edge defense capability-the TOR M2 missile variant. Engineered to thwart imminent threats to its territory, this advanced system takes center stage in countering the relentless American-made Switchblade kamikaze drones employed by Ukrainian forces. A formidable successor to the previous TOR project, the Tor-M2's short-range anti-aircraft prowess, coupled with its ability to engage targets while in motion, marks a significant leap in military technology. As the Tor-M2 continues to evolve, the lingering question arises: Can its swift and deadly response reshape the future dynamics of aerial defense on the modern battlefield?
