TBS-3M rockets: Russian Tos-2 increased range at the expense of improved shells

As reported by Army Recognition Operators, increased range has been achieved through a more powerful fuel charge and the use of a lightweight thermobaric warhead, while maintaining the destructive efficiency of the ammunition. TBS-3M missiles, like predecessors, scatter the fuel and air mixture before detonation, creating a high temperature explosion (up to 2000 ° C) and a powerful shock wave (pressure about 30 atmospheres).

Such ammunition is extremely effective in closed spaces - bins, trenches, cellars and urban development - causing destruction and serious internal injuries in personnel. The TOS-2 is mounted on the Ural-63706-0120 (6 × 6) wheel chassis, which provides greater mobility than tracked tos-1A. Each machine carries 18 trips, and one volley is able to cover up to six hectares.

The Arsenal of the ToS-2 stores the automatic fire control system with thermal imaging, ballistic computer and laser rangefinder. The recent publications of the Defense Ministry for the first time have demonstrated a digital interface and composing posts within the installation, emphasizing the high level of automation. One of the features of this system is its ability to give destructive fire power over a large area.

Each machine is equipped with 18 launchers for 220 mm rockets, and a full volley can cover an area of ​​about six hectares. The Battle Debut of the Tos-2 took place during the fighting in Ukraine. The system was applied against fortified Ukrainian positions and city strongholds. According to the scene, its use was accompanied by large -scale destruction of defense objects, which confirms the combat efficiency of the complex in the modern war.
