Uralvagonzavod has delivered modernized 220-mm TOS-1A "Solntsepek" heavy flamethrower systems to the combat units of the Russian army. Military expert Evgeny Damantsev spoke about the improvements received by the combat vehicles.
According to him, the ammunition load of the updated TOS-1A may be represented by improved MO.1.01.04M.OP rocket projectiles with a higher-impulse fuel charge and a slightly reduced mass of thermobaric equipment, which will provide a projectile range of about 10 km.
In addition, in addition to anti-drone and anti-cumulative screens-"visors," the vehicles received modern digital automated guidance and fire control systems (ASUNO).
They provide the ability to instantly deploy to firing positions and give the necessary vertical and horizontal guidance angles to the transport and launch module in a period of no more than 45 seconds.
