It is possible that Iraq bought the next batch of TOS-1A Solntsepek heavy flamethrowers and transport-loading vehicles (TZM), however, the latter do not use a chassis tank T-90S, and four-axle KAMAZ. "Messenger of Mordovia" notes that the technique was noticed on Tuesday in Omsk, and that it will be sent to Iraq, you can assume by camouflage.
“Last year we already talked about the arrival of Russian cars in Iraq and about their participation in hostilities. At the same time, we made the assumption that the Iraqis will soon acquire several more such installations, ”the material says.
The publication notes that the TZM of the very first heavy flame-thrower systems used in Afghanistan were made on the KRAZ-255B base, but later the wheels were replaced with tracks. And already now "the Iraqi experience with its specificity forced it to return to the wheeled chassis, which is lighter, more mobile and, accordingly, cheaper."
