For the first time, the Russians showed footage of the use of the TOS-2 heavy flamethrower system with thermobaric missiles

In early autumn, the Russians announced the use of the TOS-2 heavy flamethrower system. Footage of the combat operation appeared only a month and a half later. At the same time, there is no evidence that the video was shot in Ukraine and not somewhere on a Russian training ground.

Here's What We Know

The TOS-2 is an improved version of the TOS-1A, which has been successfully destroyed by the Ukrainian Defence Forces. This month alone, the Russian army has lost at least four TOS-1A systems. Three of them were hit by FPV drones.

The TOS-2 has a quarter fewer guides for missiles with thermobaric warheads (18 instead of 24). At the same time, the launch range has been more than doubled. The TOS-2 can engage targets within a radius of 15 kilometres, rather than 6 kilometres like the TOS-1A.
