Successor to the legendary "Solntsepek": the panoramic sight of the TOS-2 "Tosochka" will detect the enemy

However, IR reconnaissance with a laser rangefinder is effective only on an elevation

The Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 "Tosochka" destroys the enemy thanks to a panoramic sight integrated into the fire control system with a thermal imaging channel and an optical channel of the visible spectrum with a detection range of a group of armored vehicles at a distance of up to 5 - 7 km.

Counteraction to infrared homing heads and thermal imaging sensors of ударных FPV-copters is provided by an optoelectronic jamming module included in the onboard defense complex.

The implementation of IR reconnaissance with the subsequent use of a laser rangefinder for the final target designation of the combat module can be effective only if the firing position of the TOS-2 is on an elevation relative to the flat terrain.

Thanks to the modernized thermobaric rocket projectiles TBS-3M with higher-impulse fuel charges from NPO "Splav" with a radius of action of about 20 km, the "Tosochka" crew has the ability to conduct fire while remaining outside the range of a wide range of self-propelled mortars and mobile guns of 105 mm caliber of the enemy.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation for the first time showed the TOS-2 "Tosochka" flamethrower from the inside. With one volley, it clears six hectares of territory, burning out all living things at a temperature of 2000 degrees.
