The use of the new heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 “Tosochka” by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during a special military operation in Ukraine leads to bad consequences for the Ukrainian troops. The Polish publication Interia writes about this.
The fact that TOS-2 “Tosochka” appeared in the special operation zone became known at the end of spring 2022. However, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially announced the first use of the system only the other day, on October 17.

What frightens the Polish press most of all is the TOS-2's ability to fire thermobaric ammunition, which creates a shock wave that can penetrate inside buildings and destroy anyone who tries to take refuge there. Polish authors call TOS-2 itself even more dangerous than TOS-1. The car can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, its cabin has become armored.
TOS-2 poses a serious threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces

Let us recall that TOS-2 “Tosochka” has improved tactical and technical characteristics compared to TOS-1 “Buratino” and TOS-1A “Solntsepek”. The complex itself operates on the wheeled chassis of a Ural truck, the fire control systems are automated, and the firing range is increased. The flamethrower system is also equipped with a crane-manipulator, which frees it from dependence on the transport-loading machine.
