HIMARS / MLRS destroyed a $25 million Russian Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile launcher with a single $200,000 GMLRS projectile

The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to effectively use the US M142 and M270 missile systems. Another target was a Russian Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system.

Here's What We Know

The launcher of the Russian air defence system was destroyed in the Zaporizhzhya region. The target was detected by a reconnaissance drone, which transmitted the coordinates for the strike.

Judging by the nature of the hit, the launcher was destroyed by a GMLRS precision guided munition with a maximum launch range of approximately 80 kilometres. Such projectiles can be used by the M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS systems.

The cost of a single GMRLS missile is approximately $120,000-200,000 depending on the batch. At the same time, the entire Russian Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system is valued at about $25 million, which includes a combat vehicle, target detection station, guidance station and anti-aircraft guided missiles.
