The timing of the start of state tests of the new flamethrower system TOS-2 "Tosochka"

The new flamethrower system "TOS-2" is preparing to undergo state tests, they are scheduled to begin in March this year. This was announced by the general director of RT-Capital LLC (part of Rostec) Kirill Fedorov.

(...) started preparing the TOS-2 "Tosochka" combat vehicle for state tests, which will begin within a month. The work is being carried out as part of the implementation of the state defense order for 2021. Based on the test results, a decision will be made on the timing of putting the flamethrower system into service

- leads RIA News words by Fedorov.

Currently, TOS-2 is undergoing trial operation in the RChBZ troops. At the end of 2020, a batch of new vehicles entered service with the mobile units of the RHBZ Central Military District, stationed in the Saratov region. The number of equipment received has not been disclosed. The combat vehicle is manufactured by the Special Design Bureau CJSC of the Motovilikhinskiye Zavody group of enterprises.

The TOS-2 heavy flame-throwing system was created on the basis of the TOS-1 "Buratino" and TOS-1A "Solntsepek", but in contrast to them it has a wheelbase and improved tactical and technical characteristics. Earlier it was reported about the creation of new ammunition for TOS-2. The machine was created taking into account the experience of using such weapons during the hostilities in the Middle East.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense said that by 2025 TOS-2 will replace all TOS-1 and TOS-1A in the Southern Military District. Tracked TPS will remain in service with the RChBZ troops in other regions where the use of wheeled vehicles is impractical.

I propose to conduct state tests of the new TOS-2 flamethrower system in Syrian Idlib.

[Konnick]

It is dangerous, the firing range of up to 6 km is with new ammunition, with the usual 3 km, and the Ural chassis does not allow you to move on the sands like the TOS-1 based on the T-72, moreover, it is more vulnerable than the T-72 chassis. which allows you to be closer to the goal.

In the same Idlib, even "Gorynychi" is used in full. And there the range is generally several hundred meters.
Range is not always needed, sometimes the power of a large charge is more needed.
In the distance, you can shoot from ordinary MLRS and / or cannons.
Again, the vehicle was assigned to the RKhBZ and was originally intended not for attacking fortifications on the front line, but for clearing the area from biological and chemical hazards.
And yes, they moved from the tracks to the wheels just according to the Syrian experience, on solid dry ground it is enough. And the mobility on the road is not at all comparable in favor of the wheels. Can easily and quickly get to any place under its own power, and caterpillar tracks only on a trailer,

Since when??? "Bumblebee" - also for "burning out the infection"?
Don't be silly, Constantine! What's the point of "burning out the infection" on an area of ​​40 thousand square meters (ie 200 x 200 meters ??? Besides, if such a volley and not any "chemistry" will generally take !?
And all these idle speculations (about "burning out the infection") come exclusively from the initial submission flamethrower troops units chemical protection RKKA. And nothing more!
A TOS were originally created exactly for what now used: namely, to disable lightly armored vehicles, set fire to, destroy buildings and structures, as well as destroy enemy manpower !!!

[jonht]

Burning out the infection, its direct purpose, and oddly enough, the military initially wanted as much coverage as possible.
And how they began to use the shock after Afgan, when the volumetric explosion bombs did not help to clear the gorges, they used them. They have a different composition of the mixture and the temperature there is up to 3000 degrees. This guarantees both the burning out of biological and chemical agents.

But if the chassis does not allow you to move on the sand, desert and roads of Syria, then where?
Is there nothing to cover TOSochka in Syria?
What turns out, the wheeled chassis as an export version is not suitable for anything?
Doesn't ride on the sand and won't drive close to the enemy?

========
With new ammunition - no less 8 km (and according to some reports even more than 10 km) ...... 6 km is for TOS-1A "Solntsepek"!

in general, it was information that the range was increased to 15 km two months ago

This is not the Ural. This is Typhoon Wu.

[Konnick]

Ural-63095 Typhoon-U, what's the difference?

[carstorm 11]

The fact that this is a new platform and not a simple Ural. Which is just going to replace them. This is a cooperation of more than 100 enterprises and not the brainchild of one plant. This is a whole line of machines.

[Konnick]

That is, there is no unification with the main MO technique, which is also not good. Moreover, with a pneumohydraulic suspension, to prevent swinging during firing. The mass of the previous TOC made it possible to do without this complication, besides, there are MTO and PARM for the chassis in the form of the T-72. It looks like it is being prepared for export.

[carstorm 11]

She is her replacement. Since 18, in fact, they said in plain text that now, instead of the Urals and Kamaz, typhoons and tornadoes should be replaced in the army. As for where they are preparing, I advise you to read the text carefully) Earlier, the Ministry of Defense said that by 2025 TOS-2 will replace all TOS-1 and TOS-1A in the Southern Military District. Tracked TPS will remain in service with the RChBZ troops in other regions where the use of wheeled vehicles is impractical.

Without exception, all "Urals" have always been produced in cooperation, and not entirely by the Miass plant

[rocket757]

The system is formidable, one of many others.

[Konnick]

The key word is "one of many".

[Ros 56]

Good thing against our opponents. As they say with fire and sword.

[Magic archer]

The biggest disadvantage of the system is its range. We had to come too close against the Babai. And against a modern army, it is useless. Hopefully the new system will be more long-range

Long-range systems are already enough - Hail, Tornado, Hurricane ...
Tosochka's chip in a powerful charge. Sometimes it is much more necessary. Even Gorynych is used, and this is not about range at all.

Tosochka's counter in greater range. Which forces the RKhBZ to create a duplicate conventional artillery of its own structure - "rocket artillery RKhBZ".

[carstorm 11]

Do not forget what its main purpose is.

I wish I could attach such a package to a helicopter ...
