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. The each fire unit can engage and launch missiles against two separate targets.

Yeah greece has already let the US scour over their tor system.They are also buying new f-16's from us. They have the exact same system. Trust me a massive cruise missle strike followed by fixed wings dropping jdams at high altitudes would = dead air defense.

A massive wave of low flying predators could empty the launchers... or pinpoint their position.
