Even the most fortified objects cannot withstand a volley from the Russian flamethrower system TOS-1A "Solntsepyok". But even if the protective structure remains intact, the thermobaric projectile turns an impregnable fortress into a trap due to the "fire-breathing" shock wave and a sharp pressure drop, Rostec explained.
The firing range can vary from hundreds of meters to several kilometers, which provides effective fire support for assault units.
The damaging factor not only hits "like a sledgehammer" but also envelops "like an octopus," flowing inside enemy shelters, even if they remain completely intact.
The department emphasized that the TOS-1A is one of the most effective examples of modern Russian weaponry, having no direct analogues. A full volley of the system can cover an area of up to 40 thousand m².
The Zvezda TV channel explained the principle of operation of a thermobaric munition. After hitting the target, a special charge is activated, which disperses a dry thermobaric mixture and simultaneously detonates it.
