The expert noted that such equipment is operated by Russian specialized troops of chemical, biological and radiological protection, which are in the occupied territories of Ukraine. Previously, the system was not officially linked to the landing units, to which it was already attached. Tos-1A missiles are thermobaric and are able to destroy infrastructure with a supersonic explosive wave.
According to a 59-year-old chemical expert, Russia already has experience in the destruction of civilian population in Syria. These systems are able to quickly destroy multi -storey buildings without extra effort. "If the Russians intend to use them against civilians, it is a military crime, and it would be terrible," Hemis de Bretton-Gordon said. The colonel noted that such military means are used by Western powers, but not in cases where it is a civil infrastructure nearby.
He assured that it was a particularly horrible weapon. Tobias Ellwood, the chairman of the Special Defense Committee on Defense, also condemned the Kremlin's actions. He said that the use of thermobaric artillery indicates Russia's increasing concern of the Kremlin's head Vladimir Putin how the war goes. "The fact that Putin now resorts to the use of thermobaric weapon is a sign of despair in his unsuccessful attempt to capture Ukraine," Tobias Elwood said.
