The Ukrainian Defence Forces have eliminated a Russian TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system. The weapon was destroyed in the Luhansk region.

Here's What We Know

Russian propaganda calls the TOS-1A the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in service with the russian army. A heavy flamethrower system worth millions of dollars was destroyed by a $500 kamikaze drone. A homemade brazier mounted on the launcher failed to protect.

After the drone hit the target, the detonation of the ammunition began. It is noted that the TOS-1A had full ammunition, i.e. 24 thermobaric missiles. The crew members were also eliminated.

The heavy flamethrower system was destroyed by the forces of the company of attack unmanned aerial systems "AHILLES" of the 92nd separate mechanised brigade named after Koshevoy Ataman Ivan Sirk. Earlier they managed to eliminate a T-72 tank.
