Recently, the Russian TOS flamethrower tanks have been quite active, and there are more videos showing attacks on Ukrainian positions. This may be related to the Russian control over the battlefield. Because of their short range (the effective range of TOS-1 is 8 kilometers, TOS-1A has increased to 10 kilometers, and TOS-2 has a range of 12 kilometers), suicide drones of the Ukrainian army pose a significant threat to them. The thermobaric shells fired by these flamethrower tanks have extremely strong killing effects on unarmored personnel, light vehicles, and building fortifications. At the same time, oxygen in the burning area is consumed, and survivors may die from lack of oxygen. The fireball and loud explosion caused by the explosion have a significant impact on the morale of the enemy forces.
This video shows attacks on the Kupiansk region, the Balakliya region, and the Rubizhne region.
