The heavy flamethrower system "Solntsepyok" is a unique combat vehicle with no analogues in the world. This was stated by the press service of "Uralvagonzavod" (part of Rostec).
The concern also produces the heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A "Solntsepyok". Today, there are no full-fledged foreign analogues to it.
The volumetric "long-lasting" shock wave of the thermobaric projectiles of the "Solntsepyok" penetrates shelters and dugouts, filling all the irregularities and cracks in the landscape. Moreover, the high temperature of the explosion burns equipment and inventory.
A full salvo of TOS-1A covers approximately 40,000 square meters - almost six football fields.
Main characteristics of TOS-1A "Solntsepyok":
- Number of launch tubes - 24
- Caliber - 220 mm
- Firing range - from 600 to 6000 m
- Duration of a full salvo - 6 seconds
- Time to prepare to open fire - 90 seconds
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.
