also if you could tell me what it's used for?

Answer 1

yup these are the only mobile sams that can fire on the move, and very accurate too.

Answer 2

Its a Tor M1, used for land to air defense.

The TOR-M1 surface-to-air missile system is a mobile, integrated air defense system, designed for operation at medium-, low- and very low –altitudes, against fixed/rotary wing aircraft, UAVs, guided missiles and precision weapon. The system is capable of operating in an intensive aerial jamming environment. The system is comprised of a number of missile Transporter Launcher Vehicle (TLV). A Russian air defense Tor battalion consists of 3 - 5 companies, each equipped with four TLVs. Each TLV is equipped with 8 ready to launch missiles, associating radars, fire control systems and a battery command post. The combat vehicle can operate autonomously, firing from stationary positions or on the move. Set-up time is rated at 3 minutes and typical reaction time, from target detection to missile launch is 5-8 seconds. Reaction time could range from 3.4 seconds for stationary positions to 10 seconds while on the move. Each fire unit can engage and launch missiles against two separate targets.

Answer 3

That would be a surface to air missile, and that particular type seems to be designed for missile defense. Basically you shoot it at an incoming missile to knock it out of the sky before it does any damage to you.

Answer 4

To my it looks like a short to medium range surface to air mobil missile launcher. (SAM) Nasty like critters, vietnam vet pilots can tell you about those. "Senator McCain"

Answer 5

Soviet anti-missile system Tor-M1 ADGM

Answer 6

Basically it is a piece of junk, built on the ZSU chassis, it wouldn't last a few seconds on the battlefied.
