The Russian Armed Forces are widely using "vacuum artillery" — heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1. The effectiveness of the complex has attracted considerable attention due to its combat characteristics.
The system is also well optimized for destroying forces fortified in settlements, as well as in caves, bunkers, or trenches.
Thermobaric munitions disperse a cloud of substances in the air, which, after detonation, produces a high-pressure shock wave that effectively "sucks air out of enclosed spaces with tremendous force."
"Solntsepyok" uses 220 mm caliber unguided rockets with a thermobaric warhead to destroy targets with a volumetric explosion.
Earlier www1.ru reported that details emerged about a new Russian ballistic missile.
