In China, the TOL-1A Solneptek flamethrower system was rated. According to the author, this is the worst thing. weapon Russia, able to destroy the "whole village" for 7 seconds. This edition writes Sina.
Chinese magazine Sina believes the TOS-1A heavy flamethrower system is "the worst Russian weapon." Although it is called "flamethrower a tank", the system itself has nothing to do with it, except for the platform on which it was created - it is a multi-barrel missile launcher firing thermobaric or incendiary shells at a distance of up to 12 km. Combat capabilities of the Russian heavy flamethrower system, which entered into service of the Russian army about ten years ago, still remain unsurpassed.
The reason for creating a flamethrower system TOC-1A, the newspaper writes, was the sad experience of street fighting in Grozny, where the Russian army suffered heavy losses. In the conditions of a city where the conduct of combat is limited to strong defensive structures, conventional armored vehicles become useless, while the use of “vacuum” explosions increases the effectiveness of street battles.
TOC-1A is capable of firing off all the available missiles within 7 seconds. This time is quite enough to destroy the whole small village, the author writes, while the use of thermobaric ammunition leads to the destruction of all living things, even hiding under the ground.
Dull-looking machine has great firepower. This is really the worst Russian weapon, concludes a Chinese journalist.
