MOSCOW, October 20. The use of the heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 «Tosochka» in Ukraine was bad news for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, writes the Polish online publication Interia.
«A salvo from this weapon is capable of causing monstrous damage in a matter of seconds and destroying anyone «is within its range. We are dealing with a heavy flamethrower system that can fire scary thermobaric projectiles,» the article says.
The thermobaric bomb, the author explains, causes destruction due to extremely high temperature and excess pressure. At the same time, the shock wave is capable of penetrating inside buildings, which is deadly for anyone trying to take shelter indoors.
Compared to its predecessor TOS-1, which is being hunted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, TOS-2 is even more dangerous: the cabin has become armored, and a more powerful engine allows the car to reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour. A launcher is installed in the rear, and the range of the missiles is increased from three to 15 kilometers, as listed in the publication.
