"There is no protection from them": American expert proposed to ban Russian heavy flamethrower systems

117

The Russian heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1 "Buratino" and TOS-1A "Solntsepek" are capable of burning out huge areas; there is no escape from them even in shelters. They are so destructive that they must be banned. This is the conclusion reached by an American expert on new threats, retired US Army officer Brent Eastwood.

The author draws attention to the fact that Russian heavy flamethrower systems are "mobile installations" developed on the basis of Soviet tanks T-72. Each installation carries 24 guides with 220-mm projectiles capable of burning out an area of ​​several football fields, while there is no protection from it even in shelters, it is impossible to survive with such a blow.



According to Eastwood, TOS-1 and TOS-1A use thermobaric and incendiary rounds capable of destroying personnel, armored vehicles and shelters at a distance of "more than 3,5 miles."

According to him, the Russians began using the TOS-1 "Buratino" back in Afghanistan, then in Chechnya. TOS-1A "Solntsepek" appeared in 2001 and was used in Syria. Now these systems are pulled to the borders of Ukraine, the author says. In addition, Russia is actively promoting flamethrower systems for export; they have already been purchased by the armies of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Iraq, Syria and Kazakhstan.

In 1980, the world community adopted the "Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Incendiary weapons"However, Russian thermobaric weapons do not fall under its effect. Therefore, American and European human rights activists need to revise the norms and impose restrictions on the use of such systems. And the best solution would be to completely ban the use of such systems," he sums up.

Application of TOS-1A "Solntsepek":

        In general, the use of these systems against a regular army is simply impossible. How impossible to imagine their covert approach to the enemy on these very "3.5 miles". Especially when you consider their turtle, in fact, the speed of movement, as well as the need for escort in the form of loaders and other escorts.

            The tank is a more self-sufficient system than the TOC. He moves faster, and loads the gun himself, and he can stand up for himself too, and he has more firing range. Unlike buratin, the use of which can be found, perhaps, in the designated areas. Their protection is about the same as that of a civilian fuel tanker, with much more significant consequences of being hit from any weapon. That is, it must move to a combat position with protection from ground and air enemies. This is in addition to the loaders mentioned. And now this entire "aircraft carrier group" at snail speed must approach the enemy motionlessly waiting for it by 3.5 miles and strike him with a crushing blow. Who can believe in this? It is clear that American generals need to intimidate the congressmen more, since they, like their Russian counterparts, like to eat well.

              I don’t understand why you were given cons. If memory serves, then these machines are assigned to parts of the RHBZ. Ie, they must clear the territory of something, burn it out. As for the armor, hitting the tank is options, getting into the TOC, I think, without options. Here they posted a video of getting into a car - it's hell. And there were quite adequate comments - do the designers want to put their child in this car and send them to war? With a range of 4.5-6.0 km, I don't understand enthusiasm. Not because of the good life in Afghanistan, the extreme cells were not charged. MLRS also have thermobaric ammunition. There, the range is at least adequate

                      You shouldn't think so. There will never be a nuclear war until one country is guaranteed not to strike. But that is not the question. Again, in Afghanistan, the outermost cells were left uncharged. Because the ammunition we carry is vulnerable. Range implies action in the foreground. The machine is not suitable for this. Have you heard that the hail was not fully charged due to the vulnerability of the ammunition? I think no. Because he shoots 20 km. And here the tank's direct fire range. A tank with a bag of explosives on its armor.

                        I am aware that I served nearby, I did not get it because of the withdrawal. But there was a specificity of the mountains - when the enemy could easily be seen in 100 meters and / or above the column.
                        The shelling of the positions of vehicles ready for battle, I do not know, most likely there were, but these are already different distances.

And I remember how the demobilization was dismissed and told how the corpses of the 6th company were taken out. I remember how our columns were smashed and this is where there was simply the total superiority of our Armed Forces. I read about the unjustified losses of our troops in Georgia. Any peace is better than war. I also doubt that the entire readers of this site have already fled and at least signed a contract for a mob reserve. They will attack us, we will fight.

      In 1980, the world community adopted the "Protocol on the Prohibition or Restriction of the Use of Incendiary Weapons", but Russian thermobaric weapons are not subject to its effect.

      Interesting logic. American thermobaric weapons are normal, Russian ones are not.
      For reference, the Americans were the first to use thermobaric weapons in combat conditions during the Vietnam War. At first they were used for the construction of helipads in the jungle. Babakh, and in the dense forest, a platform appeared where you can land helicopters and land troops behind enemy lines. Then they began to apply against everything that moves.
      In service with the US Air Force is
      GBU-43 / B Massive Ordnance Air Blast, called in the media "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) - "the mother of all bombs", with an explosion force of up to 11 tons of TNT

      At one time, the church won out crossbows - and what? All together put it on.

      To begin with, this is, in general, a myth.
      Indeed, in 1139 the Roman Catholic Church adopted the canons of the 2nd Lateran Council, among which there was one like this.
      https://www.papalencyclicals.net/councils/ecum10.htm
      Quote: "29. We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on."
      that is, this canon equally prohibited the use of bows and crossbows in war against Christian opponents. Hunting, sports and wars with Muslim opponents, this prohibition did not apply.
      However, there were many interesting things in the decisions of this church council. The 12th canon of the Second Lateran Council established for the same cases of wars between Christian opponents the obligatory observance of the truce from sunset on Wednesday until dawn on Monday EVERY week and plus two more multi-day periods of truce every year. The 14th canon prohibited knightly tournaments.
      But the most interesting thing is probably the 13th canon of this cathedral.
      Quote: "13. Furthermore, we condemn that practice accounted despicable and blameworthy by divine and human laws, denounced by Scripture in the old and new Testaments, namely, the ferocious greed of usurers; and we sever them from every comfort of the church, forbidding any archbishop or bishop, or an abbot of any order whatever or anyone in clerical orders, to dare to receive usurers, unless they do so with extreme caution; but let them be held infamous throughout their whole lives and, unless they repent, be deprived of a christian burial. "
      the latter strongly condemns and prohibits usury. As is known from history, this church canon did not interfere with the existence of all kinds of bankers.

    "There is no protection from them": American expert proposed to ban Russian heavy flamethrower systems

    So the United States has it. The XM40 1060mm grenade is a thermobaric small arms device that was supplied to the US military in April 2003. During the invasion of Iraq, the US Marine Corps used the "Novel Explosive" (SMAW-NE) thermobaric projectile on the Mk 153 SMAW launcher. One team of Marines reported that they destroyed a large one-story stone building with one shot from 100 yards (91 m).
    The AGM-114N Hellfire II, first used by the U.S. military in 2003 in Iraq, uses a metal enhanced charge (MAC) warhead that contains a thermobaric explosive using aluminum powder coated or mixed with PTFE in layers between the charge body and PBXN explosive mixture. -112. When the PBXN-112 explodes, the aluminum mixture disperses and burns quickly. The resulting sustained high pressure is extremely effective against people and buildings.
    And there are bombs of a similar volumetric explosion
    BLU-73 FAE I

    The Russian heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1 "Buratino" and TOS-1A "Solntsepek" are capable of burning out huge areas; there is no escape from them even in shelters. They are so destructive that they must be banned. This is the conclusion reached by an American expert on new threats, retired US Army officer Brent Eastwood.

        The first volumetric explosion bombs, called BLU-73, were loaded with 33–45 liters of ethylene oxide and dropped from a low altitude - up to 600 m. The braking parachute provided bomb stabilization and a moderate descent rate. The detonation was carried out with a tension fuse - a thin cable 5-7 m long with a weight descended from the nose of the bomb, and when it touched the ground, it released the drummer's lever. After that, an initiating warhead was activated, generating a cloud of a fuel-air mixture with a radius of 7,5–8,5 m and a height of up to 3 m.

          BLU-82 has little in common with them - its filling was a jelly-like ammonal. It was blown up at a height of about a meter with a special pin attached to the fuse, so that there was no crater, which seriously complicates the landing of the helicopter on the patch cleared by the explosion.

    In addition, alas, the expected next "round" of anti-American hysteria in the comments, but what do we see in the article then?
    By the way, I found the original source. Here it is
    https://www.19fortyfive.com/2021/12/tos-1-russias-wall-of-napalm-weapon-is-truly-1-of-a-kind/
    They are so destructive that they must be banned. This is the conclusion reached by an American expert on new threats, retired US Army officer Brent Eastwood.

    comparable to the original
    Russian TOS-1 Buratino and TOS-1A Solntsepek rockets are so destructive they should be banned, according to some security watchdogs.

    that is, this is not the opinion of Brent Eastwood, it is he who in his article refers to the opinion of some anonymous "security experts".
    In 1980, the world community adopted the "Protocol on the Prohibition or Restriction of the Use of Incendiary Weapons", but Russian thermobaric weapons are not subject to its effect. Therefore, American and European human rights defenders need to rethink and place restrictions on the use of such systems. And the best solution would be to completely ban the use of such complexes, he sums up.

    but here there is a direct substitution of concepts, due to which the text is given a completely different meaning than in the original. We look at the source
    It's time that human rights groups take a closer look at thermobaric weapons and provide a means to regulate them. However, their use is probably too widespread to make a difference when attempting to ban them. So, this may be a bridge too far.

    we are not talking specifically about ONLY Russian weapons, but about ANY thermobaric weapons in general - Russian, German, French, Chinese, American, etc. Moreover, it is immediately concluded that this type of weapon is used by too many countries to be "just taken and banned."

    TOZ is a simplification of the destruction of non-regular units in fortifications.... simplification (loss of drugs, cost) and for underdeveloped countries such as SAR and others - also replacing aviation in this matter. And reducing losses in such operations gives the regimes a free hand in resolving issues with the separatists. And separatists are an instrument of modern wars. So they are trying to grab such systems by the ears.

    In principle, it is logical. Mattresses spend tens of millions of dollars on training terrorists, and TOSs nullify these expenses and efforts in one gulp. It turns out to be economically unprofitable for mattresses.
