The TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy flamethrower system has gained a number of tactical and technical advantages compared to the earlier version after modernization by specialists from VNII "Signal" (part of the "High-Precision Systems" holding). This was reported by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

He noted that the updated navigation system automates the processes of calculating geodetic tasks - this increases the accuracy of shooting and reduces the preparation time for it.

The installation of a digital automated control system (ACS) eliminates the need for a lengthy topological binding with the calculation output from the cabin and the use of a compass.

A similar ACS is installed on modern multiple launch rocket systems of the "Tornado" family - "Tornado-S" and "Tornado-G".

It allows machines to operate more autonomously and does not require interaction with machines included in the complex of older versions of "Smerch" or "Grad", respectively.

TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" is a modernized version of TOS-1 "Buratino". The heavy flamethrower system performs combat missions in close combat.
