Russia’s Ministry of Defense published footage of drills with portable flamethrowers in the special op. The troops can be seen firing Mukha RPG-18 anti-tank grenade launchers and Shmel RPO-A portable flamethrowers.Technically speaking, Schmel is rather a thermobaric rocket launcher with projectiles that explode in a cloud of flame rather than a flamethrower.Schmel previously underwent its baptism of fire against jihadist militants in various regions of the globe – and some of them even referred to it as “Shaitan-tube” [Devil’s tube] - a nickname that spoke for itself. A Russian soldier, armed with a portable flamethrower, virtually becomes a walking artillery unit capable of eliminating enemies that are hiding even in the most sophisticated fortifications at a distance of up to 800 meters.

Most of Russia’s portable flamethrowers do not eject jets of burning liquid as their classic peers do. Instead, they fire projectiles that explode into a cloud of ultra-hot gases, creating a local inferno around the target and incinerating it.
