Interesting. Could be a good way to add some self-defence capability to otherwise underarmed ships (e.g. STUFT, or auxiliaries). It is calm seas here. How well would this originally land-based system cope with the motion of the ship in rougher seas? Clearly, the 9K330 Tor system is land mobile. Tor was also the first air defense system in the world designed from the start to shoot down precision-guided weapons day and night, in bad weather and jamming situations. What the system could not do was to fire on the move. However, the newer Tor-M2U reportedly (2015) is able to fire on the move. Trials were conducted at Kapustin Yar range in Russia’s southern Astrakhan region. Moving at 25 km/h over rought terrain the Tor-M2U managed to spot and destroy the target maneuvering eight kilometers away. So, what about this M2KM version used in the ship trial? Is it stabilized? And to what sea state is stabilization sufficient to allow the system's effective use?Testing anti-aircraft missile system "Tor M2KM" on the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich"

Very practical design build it once and load it up , not focusing on tiny tiny boats
