In recent times, Russia’s heavy thermobaric systems have demonstrated their power on the battlefield by destroying many fortified targets in Ukraine.
The TOS-1A system is also known as Solntsepyok.
The TOS-1A multiple rocket launcher has been in operation since 1987 and is one of the most powerful weapons in the Russian army’s artillery inventory.
