This next provides a situational update on Ukraine as well and more importantly weapons/ammo load data on the
TOS-1 and TOS-1A that we might not have. Note the picture at the bottom of a post launch from a
TOS-1A (Which is in the foreground slightly off center to the right of the picture,) I see it as a two rocket launch and
very nasty.
From the article...
"The
TOS-1 is often referred to by Russia as a heavy flamethrower, although it actually fires short-range
(3,500 m) 220mm rockets armed with thermobaric warheads. The TOS-1 is based on a T-72 main battle tank (MBT) chassis and can mount
30 missiles. An upgraded version, the
TOS-1A, features an improved rocket with an extended range out to
6,000 m and mounts 24 missiles."
