A Ukrainian drone striking a Russian TOS-1A 'Solntsepek' rocket system was captured on video.
In March 2022, the British Defense Ministry said the TOS-1A's thermobaric rockets cause"incendiary and blast effects" because of the oxygen required to create the explosion. Meanwhile, Russian state media have reported on the Solntsepek's diverse range, saying it is capable of firing at close distances while also reaching targets as far away as 5.6 miles.
The Russian Defense Ministry reported earlier this year on the use of Solntsepeks in Ukraine, saying Russian forces had attacked Ukrainian positions with 220 mm shells launched by one of the rocket systems,"burning out their shelters, observation posts, ammunition depots and artillery positions."
