TOS-1A Solntsepek crews destroyed the Ukrainian Armed Forces strongholds in the special operation zone

Calculations of the Solntsepek heavy flame-throwing systems (CBT) of the 26th regiment of radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection (RHB) of the 36th army of the Vostok group of forces destroyed the strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in the Yuzhnodonetsky area of the special operation. This was announced on March 26 by the Russian Defense Ministry.

The ministry noted that the TOS-1A Solntsepek systems are effective in destroying enemy strongholds, firepower and armored vehicles, both in open areas and in defensive structures.

CBT calculations solve the tasks of fire support for tank and motorized rifle units, and are also a means of rapid response to immediately defeat newly identified enemy targets. Thanks to the use of thermobaric ammunition, Solntsepek is able to effectively hit the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including those who have taken refuge in strong points and dugouts. For safety during attacks by enemy unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the TOS-1A armor is sheathed with special protection.

"We are crushing the enemy in the entire Yuzhnodonetsky direction. We work daily, we use thermobaric projectiles of increased range. We are working on enemy strongholds, forest belts, destroying manpower, military equipment, warehouses. We are doing everything to bring our victory closer," said the commander of the flamethrower and aerosol counteraction battalion with the call sign Asphalt.

The Russian Defense Ministry added that an armed cover group with anti-drone rifles and shotguns accompanies the CBT during its tasks.
