A cropped Wikipedia list of current operators of the Tor missile system includes the unusually personal entry “Igor from Ukraine — 1 system.” The joke is that Igor is presented like a country or military operator, implying that one Ukrainian man somehow owns or operates an entire missile system. It is used as an absurd reaction to a person being treated as an official military force.
