Does the Tor have an automatic deployment configuration? Rather than being manually fired, it could be set to auto engage? Thinking that if cruise missiles and/or hostile aircraft were inbound, set it to auto. Then the crew hunkers down elsewhere to avoid the AA battery area since it's a target.
I saw in another thread someone threw this out there.
Regardless, this is such a terrible event. Thoughts and prayers to those family members having to survive this tragic loss.
