Russian military personnel began using new rockets for the heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A "Solntsepyok". Journalist Alexander Kots noted that the characteristics of advanced ammunition are not yet publicly available.

But this is, firstly, a significantly increased range. And this is very important in conditions when, in order to strike, you have to drive "Solntsepyok" 3-4 km to the line of combat contact. With new shells, the car and crew don't risk so much.
Alexander Kots, war correspondent

The journalist emphasized that they use a "slightly different principle" that allows you to cover a significantly larger area with one ammunition.

Main characteristics of the basic version of TOS-1 "Solntsepyok":

  • Readiness time for opening fire - 90 sec
  • Number of launch tubes - 24 pcs
  • Caliber - 220 mm
  • Firing range - from 600 m to 6000 m
  • Duration of a full salvo - 6 sec

Earlier www1.ru reported that "Product 305" modernized. Now the rocket flies a distance of more than 20 km.
