I'm assuming the target was the radar instead of the air defense missiles. Probably a good choice as removing the targeting ability negates the value of the missiles.
Tor is a TLAR system - meaning transport, launcher and radar all in one vehicle. Can be networked with other command vehicles and launchers but works as it is.
It's deceiving because you can't spot missiles or launch tubes, but Tor has vertically launching missiles contained in the turret β somewhat unusual in a land vehicle without an erector (Don't!).
