The Central Military District (CMD) of the Russian military has recently deployed heavy flamethrower systems, known as “Solntsepek,” in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. These powerful weapons have been used to attack a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF), causing significant damage. The Solntsepek TOS-1A system, which is known for its high firepower and maneuverability, launched a barrage of 220-millimeter thermobaric rockets, targeting both UAF personnel and light armored vehicles.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has emphasized the effectiveness of the Solntsepek combat vehicle, highlighting its ability to hold up to 24 projectiles and unleash a full barrage within a mere six seconds. This swift and powerful attack demonstrates the military capabilities of the Russian armed forces.
In addition to its firepower, the Solntsepek system has recently been equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system developed by the Signal Research Institute. This upgrade allows the crew to navigate and target locations without having to leave the vehicle, enhancing their operational efficiency and reducing the risk of exposure.
These recent developments have caused panic among the UAF, as they struggle to defend against the relentless attacks from the Russian military. The situation in Ukraine remains tense, with the conflict showing no signs of abating. The international community continues to closely monitor the situation, as the implications of this ongoing conflict extend beyond the borders of Ukraine.
