The TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system ("Solntsepyok") has received a new navigation system that has improved the accuracy of strikes to within a few meters. In addition, it reduced combat operation time in counter-battery combat conditions, according to Vladimir Pimenov, General Director of the VNI Signal Institute.
According to him, military personnel of the radiation, chemical, and biological defense (RKhBZ) troops asked specialists to improve the efficiency of the "Solntsepyok." In response, the VNI Signal Institute proposed an orientation system that made it possible to reduce combat operation time without the crew leaving the combat vehicle.
This improved the accuracy of work, allowing improvements down to single meters
Tests of the new navigation system for the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" took place in the summer of 2023. The tests confirmed the parameters set by the engineers. The heavy flamethrower system has become even more accurate, and the enemy will not hide from its hellfire.
Characteristics of the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok":
- Striking at a distance of up to 6 km
- Using unguided rockets (caliber 220 mm) with a thermobaric warhead (belonging to volumetric explosion ammunition)
- A package of 24 thermobaric projectiles
- Area of destruction - up to 40 thousand square meters
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense named the differences between the TOS-1A and TOS-2.
