Russian heavy light bulk systems TOS-1 “Buratino” and TOS-1A “Suns” can affect the goals that are in shelters. The advantages of severe Russian-made firefight systems called the 19FortyFive Brent Eastwood.
Eastwood noted that the “sun” and “Pinocchio” use shells with thermobaric composition. The blow of the flame retardant system leads to the formation of a fuel cloud that can penetrate the shelter. Also, TOS-1 and TOS-1A are distinguished by mobility, which causes the use of a tank chassis.
In the 19FortyFive publication, he stressed that heavy flamethrower systems received a fire control system with a ballistic calculator and a laser rangefinder. After reaching the fire position, the crew is enough 90 seconds to prepare for fire.
In October, Oristov wrote about the need to create norms on the ban on the use of heavy flamethrower systems. In the material for 19FortyFive, he noted that the TOS-1 system “Buratino” can receive data on the target using the drone.
In September, the National Interest publishing was noted the possibilities of a heavy flame retardant system TOS-2 “Tosuchka”. Observer Sebastien Roblin said that the Russian system could be a threat to US tanks.
