Interestingly, the TOS-1A was struck when the system was less than 5 km from the combat line. The system was forced to get so close to the front because of the short launch range of thermobaric missiles, which is only 6 km.
According to Oryx, prior to this incident, the Ukrainian Defense Forces had managed to destroy at least six flamethrower systems and capture three more. In addition, three charging vehicles were destroyed and four were seized.
