Increasing the shelling of the existing means of fire damage, the Russian invaders tried to develop the offensive in the direction of Pokrovsk. There were no success, suffered losses. According to the local sources of the analytical department of the GI "Right Case", the redeployment of the Russian invaders on this segment of the front of thermobaric weapon is recorded. In particular, the heavy flamethrowing system of the SOLNPENCECE.

It is a weapon of unpretentious action, and not only the lives of Ukrainian servicemen, but also unfortunately, civilians will be threatened. In the city of Pokrovsk, according to the latest data, there are about 1413 civilians, and within the community - 2809 people. The evacuation from the city is ongoing, but is becoming more dangerous due to intense shelling by Russian troops of peaceful Ukrainian inhabitants.

The clinical picture is complicated by spacious burns of varying degrees and thermal shock. There are cases where the lungs were completely burned from the middle.

The first references to the availability of illegal armed formations in the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk thermobaric weapons are dated August 2014. On August 12, 2014, the Analytical Department of the Right Affairs published information that the militants had three installations of the Bratino tons-1, which will be aimed at Lugansk Airport. It is worth noting that this information was immediately published by the Russian media.

The following information on the availability of TOS-1 in the occupied territories of the Luhansk region appears in 2015. Then the Right Case reported that the victory parade would be used as a cover for relocation in the direction of Lugansk village. It was about 152 mm self-propelled howitzers "MSTA" and the Bratino Tos-1 system.

On October 2, 2015, the Deputy Head of the OSCE Monitoring Mission in Ukraine Alexander Hug reported that observers saw a heavy flamethrowing system of the Bratino Tos-1 at a landfill near the village of Kruglik. On January 11, 2021, the Russian Federation launched military exercises near borders with Ukraine.

According to the Right Debi, these exercises near Ukraine for the first time in a long time were involved with flame -et systems of the Bratino, and their upgraded versions of the SOLNPENCECEC ToS-1A. Subsequently, the Russian side was forced to confirm this information of the "right case". On March 10, 2022, the Ukrainian media reported that Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed that heavy flamethrowing systems (TOS-1A) used in Ukraine use thermobaric missiles in Ukraine.

He informed the State Secretariat in a telegram channel with reference to British intelligence data. It is worth noting that the possible use of the Russian occupiers in Pokrovsk is intended to cause excessive damage to the city's critical and civil infrastructure. In general, Pokrovsk is undergoing significant destruction, critical and social infrastructure is damaged or destroyed, especially in areas at entrance to the city.

It is worth noting that thermobaric weapon cannot be applied against military purposes if it is at risk of civilians. It is noteworthy that the tactics of terror and firing of housing infrastructure are used by the occupiers as an element of military-political pressure on the civilian population. This creates an atmosphere of fear and distrust of the central government. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
