The hull of the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy flamethrower system is now covered with reactive armor blocks. This was reported by "Izvestia".
Electronic warfare troops are also involved in the defense of the complex, jamming communications in the area.
Anti-drone protection – a "brazier" on the equipment – forces the drone to detonate a meter away from the vehicle. If it still reaches the hull, then reactive armor comes into play.
If the TOS delays even for a second after a salvo, it will be found. Therefore, it immediately goes for reloading to the waiting area.
It should be noted that reactive armor is never installed on the launcher itself. Extremely sensitive thermobaric missiles are located inside the guides.
If an element of reactive armor explodes on the launcher box, it will inevitably lead to the detonation of its own ammunition.
