Ukrainian FPV drone Pegas destroys Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A with thermobaric shells
SBU Special Forces destroyed a Russian heavy flamethrower system TOS-1A. To do this, they used a Pegas kamikaze drone worth several hundred dollars.
TOS-1A is a Russian weapon system that was developed in the early 2000s. It is based on the Soviet heavy flamethrower system TOS-1. The complex includes a combat vehicle, a transport and loading vehicle and rocket launchers.
The key difference between the TOS-1A and the basic version was the reduction in the number of guides from 30 to 24 units. In addition, the transport and loading vehicle received a chassis from a T-72 tank instead of a KrAZ vehicle.
The heavy flamethrower system uses thermobaric shells of 220 mm caliber. The maximum launch range is 6000 meters. One salvo hits an area of up to 40,000 square meters.
