The TOS-1A is a Russian-made heavy flamethrower system that is a highly effective weapon in urban warfare scenarios, where it can quickly clear out enemy positions and fortifications. The system is mounted on a tracked chassis, which allows it to traverse difficult terrain and keep up with mechanized units.

The Russian Defense Ministry has released a video of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok ("Scorching Sunlight") obliterating a Ukrainian stronghold with personnel during an advance on Svatovo in Donbass with a single thermobaric shell.

The TOS-1A uses a thermobaric warhead that creates a powerful shockwave upon detonation, which can cause significant damage to structures and personnel within a large radius. The warhead also releases a cloud of flammable gas, which is then ignited to create a massive fireball that can incinerate anything within its reach.

This makes the TOS-1A an ideal weapon for destroying enemy bunkers, fortified positions, and underground tunnels.
