The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the first time reported on the front of the heavy flamethrower system of the TOS-2 (video)

The Tos-2 system was created taking into account the fighting in Ukraine. Unlike its predecessors, the "tonochka" is based on a wheel platform and has an increased shooting range. On October 17, the Ministry of Defense of Russia showed staff of work on the advanced heavy flamethrower system of the Tos-2 "Tosochka". Although information about the use of this system on the Ukrainian Front appeared in May, the official confirmation of the Russian military was the first time.

The corresponding video was posted on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on October 17. According to the statement, the flamethrower system was applied in the fortified area of ​​Ukrainian troops, but the exact scene is not reported. "Experts are highly appreciated by the TTH of the Tos-2 flamethrower system" Tosochka "due to increased mobility, increased fire power, increased range and high accuracy of the used ammunition," the statement reads.

Russian experts point out that the system of TOS-2 was created taking into account hostilities in the territory of Ukraine and differs from its predecessors by the Tos-1 "Buratino" and Tos-1A "Solnaceke" with wheel base and improved tactical and technical characteristics. However, in the future, the above systems on a tracked course will not be removed from weapons, but will be modernized.

According to the Russian resource "War Obress", TOS-1 and TOS1A will receive modern digital means of communication, as well as equipment of a closed segment of data transmission-this will allow them to integrate them into automatic control systems (ACS). In addition, the designers of the aggressor country intend to modernize ammunition to these systems, increasing their range to 15 km instead of 6 km available today.
