According to Potapov, there is a "real hunt" for the TOS-1A. Therefore, the developers have installed additional protection for the heavy flamethrower system against drones.

The General Director of UVZ noted that the new modification of the TOS based on the T-80 has received a number of improvements. The gun has increased range, accuracy, and automation.

In the future, the concern will fully switch to the production of such TOS. However, systems based on T-72/T-90 will remain available to customers.
