A batch of new Suntsep systems will be delivered to the RCB protection division of BBO.

Representatives of the RCB protection division began accepting new flame-throwing systems "Sunpipek" at the factory, reports press office Eastern District.

Specialist officers of the RHB defense unit of the Eastern Military District, stationed in the Amur Region, began accepting several heavy TOS-1A Solntsepek heavy flamethrower systems at the factory tank T-72,

says release.

These machines in this unit will arrive for the first time. Acceptance of new equipment is planned to be completed before the end of this year.

The press service recalled that “the TOC-1A flame-thrower system is designed to disable lightly armored and automotive vehicles, arson and destroy structures and buildings, destroy enemy personnel, located in open areas and in fortifications, fragments, shock wave created on the target area with the massive use of unguided rockets in thermobaric and smoke-igniting equipment.

now they’re "kidnapping" there)))

[Kleber]

The receipt of equipment in the army and navy is always good news.

[Mikhail Zubkov]

The range of fire and, in general, the power of the system, we must think, were increased ... Not an export option!

[Kleber]

Well, the exact performance characteristics for no one will tell.

[just exp]

what for ? The sun was generally improved by Pinocchio, its application provided that he would go in the same order as the tanks and direct fire, which is why he was on the tank chassis.
and if you need a range, ALREADY HAVE ALREADY been a Grad, to which thermobaric ammunition has been made for a long time, moreover they are for both Tornado and Hurricane. and there the range and power are even greater.

[Simon]

Friends, a hell of a machine came out for our enemies, now they will sunbathe under our Sunshine!

The press service recalled that "the TOS-1A flamethrower system is designed to disable lightly armored and automotive vehicles, set fire to and destroy structures and buildings ....

It was not developed for this at all, and therefore was assigned to the army of the Russian Chemical Forces.

EMNIP, we have all flamethrowers and, in general, incendiary weapons refers to the RKhBZ Troops.

All flamethrowers. Ever since the First World War.
However, with TOC it is not so simple. Formally, the thermobaric munition has the same relation to incendiary weapons as the OF art. metallized hexogen shells

Well, yes ... it's not for nothing that flamethrower tanks were called chemical tanks.
But it’s interesting - to whom did these guys relate: directly to engineers or chemists as part of an engineering unit?

To chemists. The so-called “OBRO” was present at the SHISBr state - a separate battalion of knapsack flamethrowers.
The most interesting thing was with the tankers. Some SHISBr included engineer-tank (tankers) and flamethrower-tank (chemists) regiments

As for incendiary weapons, not everything was under the chemists. It was used independently by artillerymen and aircraft.

Clear. That is, the storm squad groups were given flamethrowers from this battalion. And the battalions and companies of flamethrowers, regardless of current subordination, belonged to chemical forces.

And here everything is logical. Engineering tank regiments are minesweepers. And flamethrower tanks are chemists.
Although the OSh of an engineering and tank regiment is a song: the regiment consisted of a command, four companies (3 ytr and 1 ro) and three platoons (sapper reconnaissance, machine gunners and control). There are no battalions in the regiment.

who did these guys relate to:

Rather, the second, for these were not purely flamethrower groups. Yes, flamethrowers as part of the pioneer assault units. Something like this.

Purely flamethrower links - two flamethrowers and a link commander. Which were attached to the assault groups. They were given, and were not subordinated, because because of the peculiarities in the "replenishment of the BC" they were forced to operate quite autonomously, they tried to reload points in the immediate rear, but on the outskirts. For obvious reasons. On the one hand, it is dangerous, on the other hand, it is noticeable and audible due to the operation of the compressors

Thanks, okay. Well, yes, keeping the mixture on the front end is fawn.

[Lopatov]

It just turned out that the fawn is not with flammable mixture, but with the charging of cylinders with compressed air. This is the compressor that dragged the truck. They had two, and later three companies of flamethrowers, a whole autorot for these purposes.
Well, regarding the links, apparently, there was some kind of reserve, which replaced those who went to replenish the BC as part of the assault groups.

This is a compressor

Yes, in order to drown out the sound of the compressor, it seemed that artillery preparation was required.
