The Tor missile system has its own radar system, I’m not sure if it can
Interrogate transponder codes to positively ID the aircraft. Might be just a raw radar return. The Ukraine jet was late departing, so they may have ended up in airspace that the Tor crew expected to be empty at that period of time, based on their mission timing.
