Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade Dispose of Abandoned TOS-1A
Published 2 years ago
Ukrainian Soldiers with the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade dispose of a Russian TOS-1A that was abandoned by Russian Soldiers. The explosions matches the signature of a thermobaric weapon system.
Ordinance disposal on the battlefield is decently commonplace. It's even more commonplace when there are civilian farmers randomly hooking up their tractors to anything with wheels from the other side of the fight and hauling them home to list them on eBay.
What you're looking at in this video is the destruction of a TOS-1A. The TOS-1A is an MLRS system built on the chassis of a T-72. It's capable of launching rockets up to 186 miles away from the weapon system, and is also capable of carrying a thermobaric load. The explosion seen in this video matches up with the signature of a thermobaric detonation, as you can see a fireball rolling high into the sky very slowly which is indicative of fuel as opposed to high-explosives.
