The Ministry of Defense has received a batch of modernized TOS-1A "Solntsepek" heavy flamethrower systems. The equipment was repaired and modernized at the Omsk Transport Engineering Plant (Omsktrasmash). This was reported by the press service of the enterprise.
Omsk machine builders handed over to the military a batch of modernized heavy flamethrower systems as part of the state defense order.

Earlier it was reported that Omsktransmash specialists are completing the development of a version of modernization of heavy flamethrower systems. As part of the modernization of the TOS, modern digital communication facilities will be received, as well as equipment for a closed data transmission segment, which will allow them to be integrated into automatic control systems (ACS) of the tactical level. In addition, long-range ammunition from TOS-1 (Tosochka) will be adapted for TOS-1 and TOS-2A, thereby increasing the range of TOS to 15 km instead of the currently available 6 km.
At present, the RChBZ is armed with about a hundred heavy flamethrower systems of two modifications: TOS-1 "Buratino" based on tank T-72 and the improved TOS-1A "Solntsepek" on the T-90 chassis. All complexes in service will be modernized. The combat vehicles will undergo mandatory modernization during the repair process.
