Combat work of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok crew

Crews of the heavy flamethrower systems TOS-A1 Solntsepyok of the Vostok group of troops destroyed fortified areas and strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the zone of a special military operation.

Units of the Russian Chemical Defense Forces of the Vostok group of troops, consisting of crews of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower systems, continue to support the actions of the group’s motorized rifle and tank units in the zone of a special military operation.

After firing a salvo of thermobaric rockets, the fighters immediately move the vehicle into a stowed position and leave the position under the cover of a support group. Control and adjustment of fire strikes against targets is carried out by operators of the group’s unmanned aerial vehicles, who transmit the results of combat work to the command post in real time.

The TOS-1A Solntsepyok package contains 24 thermobaric shells. They are capable of covering an area of ​​200 by 200 meters, while destroying manpower, lightly armored vehicles, and even enemy fortifications. The unpretentious, mobile and highly effective Russian combat vehicle has no analogues in the world.

Shooting is carried out using modern software systems for topographic and geodetic referencing. High accuracy of salvo firing at an area target is ensured due to direct sighting (aiming) of the launcher at the target, automated guidance at a firing range of several kilometers.

The defeat of the enemy is achieved through complex exposure to fragments, high temperatures and high pressure. After completing a combat mission, the crews of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok quickly change combat positions and promptly reload the installations.
