Pauk explained that the Storm Shadow flies along the usual trajectory of a cruise missile being a good target for Tor-M2.
According to him, the missile was hit by the very first shot.
"The technical characteristics of the [Tor-M2] allow it. It has a 98% hit rate. Basically, the machine does everything, but the crew is also important," the commander added.
