Russian Thermobaric Flamethrowers Crush Bakhmut
Published 1 years ago
Drone footage reportedly from the battle for Bakhmut shows the result of Russian Tos-1 "Heavy Flamethrowers" sending thermobaric warheads into the downtown portion of the city.
The TOS-1 thermobaric MRLS, known as the "heavy flamethrower system" to the Russians, launches incredibly powerful fuel-air bombs or vacuum bombs, which combust the oxygen around the target, resulting in a massive fiery explosion. The TOS-1 220mm 30-barrel multiple rocket launcher systems (MLRS) is mounted on a T-72 tank chassis, and due to its limited firing range, it is not considered artillery, but rather a frontline fire support asset.
