"Joker" in the NBC Protection Forces Deck: Rostec Listed Important Qualities of the TOS "Solntsepyok"

A full salvo from the TOS-1A covers an area equivalent to six football fields

The heavy flamethrower system "Solntsepyok" has become a kind of "Joker" in the deck of means of destruction of the radiation, chemical and biological protection (NBC protection) troops. Rostec spoke about the unique combat qualities of the system.

The volumetric "long-lasting" shock wave of the thermobaric projectiles of the "Solntsepyok" penetrates shelters and dugouts, filling irregularities and crevices in the landscape. Moreover, the high temperature of the explosion burns equipment and inventory in its path.

The principle of operation of a thermobaric munition is that when it hits a target, a special charge is triggered, which evenly scatters a dry thermobaric mixture and simultaneously detonates it.

A volumetric detonation occurs. The explosion sphere has a temperature of over 1,000°C. A full salvo from the TOS-1A covers approximately 40,000 square meters — almost six football fields.
