12:52 GMT 04.06.2023 (Updated: 12:48 GMT 19.06.2023) The flamethrowers are used as part of Russia's special operation, and they have proved to be quite instrumental. These systems are considered most effective in local conflicts and counter-terrorism operations.
The Russian Armed Forces have landed a blow against Ukrainian militants near Gulyaipole, MoD representatives have told Sputnik.
"The crews of the Solntsepyok flamethrower systems destroyed the temporary deployment point of the nationalists in the Gulyaipole area," the officer said.
