No. I didn't write that and it isn't accurate. I wrote a bunch of other speculation which appears to have been wrong hahaha. Anyway...
TOR-M1 has two radars. One long-range (24km) radar for target acquisition (TA) and one big square, flat one on the front of the 'turret' for fine tracking a designated target (12km, 0 - 60 degrees of elevation). The TOR can, however, auto acquire/designate and auto-track multiple targets.
A computer considers data from the TA and designates targets by general type: precision guided bomb/cruise missile; aircraft; helicopter; and unidentified. It also classifies them in IFF terms: friendly, foe or unknown.
The TOR operator still has to push a button to actually fire a missile.
