The first version (Mk.1) of the system was adopted by the Soviet army in 1986, since 2008 the upgraded Tor-Mk.2 is in service. It is capable of engaging all enemy aircraft (including stealth), helicopters and cruise missiles but also UAV´s.

The Tor-M2 is capable of non-stop firing while moving into different positions.

The main unit of the system is the combat vehicle on a tracked chassis, armed with 16 medium-sized air defense missiles 9M338 and having its own guidance and target acquisition system. Enemy aircraft can be hit at a range of up to 16 km and an altitude of up to 10 km.
