Russian airborne troops for the first time in history received the TOS-1A "Solntsepyok" heavy "flamethrower" systems, and they will be used in the special operation zone in Ukraine, the Defense Ministry revealed.
Colonel Alexei Goncharov, who heads the Airborne NBC Protection Troops, noted that these systems "have no equal in the collective West's arsenals," so they "induce panic among our enemies."
The "Solntsepyok" systems have proven to be extremely effective in destroying fortified enemy strongholds during the special operation, the Defense Ministry noted. It unleashes its firepower using the latest software systems of topographic and geodetic referencing. There is no place to run and hide from the TOS-1A, not even in the trenches, the ministry added.
