The V-750 [(the SA2's missile)] is a two-stage missile, consisting of a solid-fuel booster and a storable liquid-fuel upper stage burning red fuming nitric acid as the oxidizer, and kerosene as the fuel. The booster fires for about 4-5 seconds, and the main engine for about 22 seconds, by which time the missile is traveling at about Mach 3. The booster mounts four large cropped-delta wing fins with small control surfaces in their trailing edges, used to control roll. The upper stage has smaller cropped-deltas near the middle of the airframe, with a smaller set of control surfaces are at the extreme rear and (in most models) much smaller fins on the nose.
The missiles are guided using radio control signals from the guidance computers at the site, sent on one of three channels. The earlier S-75 models received their commands via two sets of four small antennas in front of the forward fins, while the D models and on used four much larger strip antennas running between the forward and middle fins. The guidance system at an S-75 site can handle only one target at a time, but can direct three missiles against it. Additional missiles could be fired against the same target after one or more missiles of the first salvo had completed their run and the radio channel was freed.
The missile typically mounts a 195 kg (430 lb) fragmentation warhead, with proximity, contact and command fusing. The warhead has a lethal radius of about 65 m (215 ft) at lower altitudes, while at higher altitudes the thinner atmosphere allows for a wider radius of up to 250 m (820 ft). The missile itself is accurate to about 75 m (250 ft), which explains why two were typically fired in a salvo. One version, the SA-2E, mounted a 295 kg (650 lb) nuclear warhead of an estimated 15 kt yield, or a conventional warhead of similar weight.
Typical range for the missile is about 45 km (30 miles), with a maximum altitude around 20,000 m (60,000 ft). The radar and guidance system imposed a fairly long short-range cutoff of about 500-1,000 m (3,000 ft), making them fairly safe to attack at low level.
However, the beloved Tor-M1 is able to track two (and in more advanced variants four) targets and engage them.
(The Tor-M1 is able to have four missiles in flight, two per locked target, as is the later variants,
with eight missiles and four locked targets.)

The closest foreign analogues to the Tor missile system in function and operation are systems like the British Rapier missile and French Crotale missile systems. The Tor system is mobile and self propelled using the 9A330 fighting vehicle which acts as an autonomous transporter, launcher, and radar unit or TLAR (similar to but not a TELAR as it does not erect the missile to a launch position). The 9A330 TLAR uses GM-355 chassis though the later Tor-M1 uses an improved GM-5955 chassis developed and produced by MMZ.[7] In addition to the self-propelled, tracked vehicle there are also static and towed versions of the Tor, and the latest Tor-M2E has been demonstrated with a wheeled chassis. The TLAR has a crew of four including a driver seated up front and three operators inside.
The TLAR is arranged in a similar fashion to the 9K22 Tunguska (Russian: Тунгуска) air defense system, it features a turret with a surveillance radar on top and a tracking radar up front with 8 ready to fire missiles stored vertically between the two radar. The surveillance radar is an E/F-band pulse doppler radar with a parabolic antenna mechanically scanned in azimuth with a 32 degree sector view[citation needed]. The radar has an average power output of 1.5 kW providing a maximum detection range of 25 km/16 mi, an F-15 type aircraft at an altitude of up to 6 km had a detection probability of 0.8 at this range.[3] The radar can detect up to 48 targets and track ten of them, including IFF functionality; the IFF antenna is mounted above the search radar. Later variants of the Tor system incorporate a modern frequency scanned phased array as a replacement for the older parabolic antenna.
The target engagement radar is a G/H and later K-band pulse doppler radar with an electronically scanned phased-array antenna in azimuth. The radar has an average power output of 0.6 kW providing a maximum detection range of 20 km/12 mi. An F-15 type aircraft had a detection probability of 0.8 at this range.[3] The radar can track one target (later two (Tor-M1) and then four (Tor-M2E)) while simultaneously guiding up to two missiles (later four (Tor-M1) and then eight (Tor-M2E). There is also a small antenna on the top of the target engagement radar to communicate with missiles after launch and before they are acquired by the engagement radar. Together these radars carry the NATO reporting name "Scrum Half". The surveillance radar can be folded down horizontally when travelling, to reduce the height of the vehicle, and the tracking radar can partially rotate away from vertical to reduce its height. There is an optical tracking system to complement the target engagement radar and allow engagements in a heavy ECM environment.
Targets can be acquired and tracked while the TLAR is moving. Missiles can be fired only when in a stationary position. The reaction time (from target detection to engagement) is described as 5-8 seconds depending on the variant; however, reaction time is somewhat longer (around 10 seconds) whilst in motion and firing in short halts. An auxiliary power unit (APU) is fitted so that the main engine can be shut down while the radar and missile system continue to operate when stationary, enabling long periods of readiness. The digital computers allowed for a higher degree of automation that any previous Soviet system of its type. Target threat classification is automatic and the system can be operated with little operator input, if desired. The high performance computing system combined with a phased array radar are the main reasons for the system's high degree of accuracy, ability to intercept small, fast and highly maneuverable targets, and the very fast reaction times of the system. It is equipped with NBC (nuclear, biological and chemical) protection. The price per unit was quoted as $25 million in 2007[citation needed].
Typically a battery of four Tor vehicles is accompanied by the mobile Ranzhir-M (Russian: "Ранжир-М") command center. It allows for efficient allocation of tasks between the individual Tor-1M crews and allows each TLAR to be linked into a wider air defense system.

9K332 "Tor-M2", "Tor-MTA", "Tor-MTB", "Tor-MTS" with the 9M331 missile and a new surveillance radar, minimum range 1 km (0.6 mi)
And h- is gonna kill me for bandwith.
@ h-,
The quotes there are long, I know. Am just request to leave the quotes up for 1 week from time of this post,
then tear them down and people can look at the Wikipedia links.

EDIT: BTW,
1) Will the Missiles be subject to range limits separate from the radar?
That is, could the radar produce a "radar lock" signal on a target without a missile?
2) If so could the radar site be used as an early warning radar?
3) Is there a way preventing sa2s from one site firing on a target, when designated from a separate sights radar?
4) I trust this, but to just make sure,
will stealth classes be hidden from these handoff radars?
and will they show up as targets on player MCCs and RCCs?
5) Lastly, will radar be stand-alone/air-attachable?
This could open up the option for AWAC intel.
(With little color-coded mapmarker dots,
perhaps with a descriptive mouse-over tooltip.)
All just afterthoughts.
