Originators Designation: 9K331 TOR
NATO Reporting Name: SA-15 Gauntlet
Description: The Tor (Russian: Тор; English: torus[2]) is an all-weather, low- to medium-altitude, short-range surface-to-air missile system designed for destroying airplanes, helicopters, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles and short-range ballistic threats (anti-munitions). Originally developed by the Soviet Union under the GRAU designation 9K330 Tor, the system is commonly known by its NATO reporting name, SA-15 "Gauntlet". A navalized variant was developed under the name 3K95 "Kinzhal", also known as the SA-N-9 "Gauntlet". Tor was designed to shoot down guided weapons like the AGM-86 ALCM and BGM-34[3] day and night, in bad weather and jamming situations.[4] Tor can detect targets while on the move. The vehicle must stop intermittently when firing,[5][6] although trials have been conducted with the aim of eliminating this restriction.
The SA-15 GAUNTLET low-tomedium altitude SAM system is capable of engaging aircraft and helicopters. Although an autonomous system it can be interfaced into an integrated air defence network. In Allied Force, 2x SA-15 can be found with the HQ BMP –CMD battalion. The SA-15 has the capability to automatically track and destroy 2 targets simultaneously in any weather and at any time of the day. The single stage solid propellant missile has a maximum speed of Mach 2.8 and is fitted with a 15 kg HE-fragmentation warhead detonated by a proximity fusing system. The cold launch ejection system propels the missile upwards to a height of 18-20 meters, whereupon thruster jets ignite and turn the weapon to the target bearing. The main sustainer rocket motor then ignites and the missile is command guided to the intercept point where the proximity fuse is triggered. Effective range limits are from 1nm to 22nm with target altitude limits being between 50 and 20000 ft. The maximum maneuvering load factor limit on the weapon is 30g.
Specifications:
Defensive Maneuvers: HIGH THREAT Mobile tactical SAM with strong anti-air and anti-missile capability. It is capable of shooting down a barrage of missiles. Often found defending high value assets such as SA-10s and airfields
Priority target for all aircraft. TOR is a formidable air defense system that is highly resistant to counter-measures. Attack an SA-15 by saturating with standoff munitions, lofted Anti-Radiation missiles or high altitude JDAM drops. If you are attacked, run and/or seek terrain masking
Break Turn 8-9g + Chaff/Notch/Stay out of engagement envelope/Regularly dispense flares when in SA-14 envelope. HARM from outside engagement umbrella, otherwise stay away as this threat is lethal.
High chaff resistance combined with highly maneuverable missile make the SA-15 very hard to defeat kinematically. Site consists of 2x launchers each with their own FCR.
