In Video: Russian TOS-1A Thermobaric Rocket Launcher Hammer Ukrainian Forces

File image.

The Russian TOS-1A thermobaric rocket system has been spotted in action for the first time since the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine.

On March 19, footage showing a TOS-1A launcher firing an entire salvo of rockets at positions of Ukrainian forces in an unspecified part of Ukraine emerged online.

The Russian military deployed several TOS-1A systems in Ukraine early on in its operation to provide heavy fire support its infantry and mechanized formations.

The TOS-1A, which is based on the T-72 battle tank chassis, launches unguided 220 mm thermobaric rockets armed with a powerful fuel air explosives warhead. The system’s rockets have a range between six and ten kilometers.

The system was developed to defeat infantry, armored vehicles and fortified constructions, such as trenches, tunnels and caves.

At least 45 TOS-1A systems are reportedly in service with the Russian military. A newer version of the system, dubbed the TOS-2, was first used during the Kavkaz-2020 drills in September 2020. The TOS-2 is based on a Ural all-terrain vehicle. It is also armed with a more powerful rockets with a longer range.

The TOS-1A system will provide Russian forces with the heavy fire power needed to overrun the fortified positions of Ukrainian forces with ease.

ukropbots, i dont feel so good. this might be my last post here, I dont know how much time I have left. Morale in the ukrop army is low. Desertion is rampant. My commanding officer is currently bleaching his skin to try and get rid of the swastika tatoos. Our soldiers keep getting blown up by Russian missiles. 3 members of my squad tried to desert last night, our CO found out and shot them in the back to make an example out of them. To make up for desertion and deaths, our garrison requested reinforcements. But the reinforcements convoy got completely destroyed, seemingly by civilians who got their hands on NATO manpads. These seem to be passed around like candy because ukrop weapon stashes are being abandoned en masse and anyone can loot whatever they want. Some still try to spread optimism though. We had a foreign mercenary in our garrison from tbe Baltics. He told us about the massive benefits, the NATO offers. For example, the baltics were the only countries on the planet where you could not enter a supermarket without showing a QR code. This was possible only because of pressure from NATO to impose these vaxx mandates. However, this volunteer died from a heart attack 2 days ago, we don’t know what happened. Food is currently being rationed, no supplies have come in for over 2 weeks. Must go now, the CO gave us orders to execute some civilians and say they were Russian saboteurs, as a last ditch effort to boost morale and to claim a PR victory.

Wow. The life of a Ukrop. Spread the word!

Indian generals had suggested that Russian just isolate and crush the Kiev Nazis. Russia is now doing the right thing. It should also use the FOAB (the father of all bombs) on the trapped Kiev Nazis rats in the Mariupol iron works and take no prisoners. Russia has has total international support for its Operation Z and the western brainwashed lapdogs have lost interest after barking for 3 weeks and telling lies. No NATO queer will die for Ukrainian racist Nazis. However, 4 inept American warmongers did die in Occupied Norway when their Osprey went down in frozen Baltic. God Bless President Putin and noble Russian warriors.

Generals are fired and put under house arrest On Friday, there were increasing reports that the Russian secret service FSB had Roman Gavrilov, the vice-chief of the National Guard Rosgvardia, arrested. According to Christo Grozev, Russia expert of the research network “Bellingcat”, he is accused of “wasting fuel” in the attack on the neighbouring country. The Russian news portal “Ura.ru” only reported Gavrilov’s dismissal for unknown reasons, “possibly compromising”. 

Ura.ru

Putin had publicly humiliated Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s foreign intelligence agency SWR, in the first three weeks of the war. He also placed two FSB generals under house arrest and had Viktor Solotov, head of the National Guard and a member of the Russian Security Council, fired. 

Putin had publicly humiliated Sergei Naryshkin, head of Russia’s foreign intelligence agency SWR, in the first three weeks of the war. He also placed two FSB generals under house arrest and had Viktor Solotov, head of the National Guard and member of the Russian Security Council, fired. 

Thus, at a meeting of the Security Council, the Kremlin chief sharply attacked the FSB’s foreign officers, Soldatov reported. The head of the FSB department Sergei Beseda and his deputy were put under house arrest for allegedly doctoring information for Putin before the war. This is yet another indication that Putin completely miscalculated his invasion. The Kremlin did not correctly assess the resistance of the Ukrainian population in advance, nor the harsh sanctions imposed by the West. 

The “mess” for Putin is so big that he is “betting on other horses in the middle of the race – a taboo in war”, writes “Bellingcat” journalist Grozev. This verdict could at least give Ukraine some hope, even if Putin still wants to achieve his war aims by force and has yet to show any serious interest in negotiations. In any case, the president is under pressure to act, even if there are no certain reports of resistance in the Kremlin’s inner circle yet. Domestically, he urgently needs successes, also in front of his own population. Successes that have so far failed to materialise in Ukraine.

You’re right. Sorosist media shit is not going to stop soon. The level of lies, manipulation and propaganda is mind boggling here in Romania. There is NO TV channel which don’t open swear Putin and don’t incite to rusophobia by any means possible. In 50 years of cold war I didn’t see a fraction of this happened ! It’s a total TV media mayhem agains Putin and, be attention please, against anything is russian and/or slavic. From OPEN DIRECT TV swears to running all day long so-called ‘historical documentaries’ which emphasis atrocities made by bolshevics during ww2 war, to the old tzarist imperialist against european nations, to anything you can imagine: lies, half truth, corrupt historical evidences, truncate pieces of information, a totally NON STOP Hysteria. Only 2 tiny TV posts try to maintain some degree of impartiality. Besides that, I saw unbelievable faked war maps, showing how ucrainians will relieve the Mariupol because the russians didn’t managed to advance further than this city to the north, huge border areas with the russians still being held by ukrop army, etc, etc, etc….and many of retard romanian generals commenting on those maps……showing how NATO backed ukrops will counterattack here and there, etc, etc….just plain imbecile generals…..not unusual this fact because after the fall of comunism here, suddenly we begun making thousands of generals, now having more than 1500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was and it is a clever trap of the totally CIA enslaved national intelligence services to bribe politicians and media figures. Why ? Because this ‘general’ rank will give you a ‘SPECIAL PENSION’ of many thousands of Euro’s !!!!!!!!!!! Those special pensions costs our state 2 BILLION Euro’s A YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!! When the country have 150 BILLION national debt and we continuously borrow currenci to balance our ongoing negative GDP !!! That’s the ‘democracy’ who was ‘installed’ from the transatlantic sorosist satanist agenda in my country

Big question is, what are UAF’s total casualties at this point in the war? What are Ukraine’s total weaponry losses?

To what degree has UAF combat efficiency been degraded?

We need to know the answers to these questions before making judgments about the balance-of-power on the ground in this war. Ditto for making judgments about what direction the tide of combat is moving in.

There are NO Western MSM sources willing to publish this information, or even speculate about it. Western journos and analysts who speak to this question would probably be fired from their jobs. That’s my guess.

It is a bit. At around 5 seconds a fish is thrown clear. And the idiots launched from dry brush and set the area on fire, hopefully they reversed and drove off before their truck was engulfed by fire.

Joe Dirt

FFS. ALL Grads light up any surrounding scrub with small brief brush fires. These are batteries of high powered artillery rockets generally set at a high arc trajectory – to gain their maximum range of thirty kilometers. There is a LOT of rocket thrust and intense flame coming from the back of the FORTY rockets as they are sequentially launched from boxes. The higher the trajectory arc the closer the rear launch fire is to ground behind. If you stood behind one you would get full third degree burns. This is why Grads are truck mounted. Because they need to leave the area of localized scrub fires, and because the full box launch is so dynamic that the enemy can see the distant launch flashes in low light or with sun at their backs (like thunder in distance). If you can see the launch point from enemy position you also need to leave that site immediately after full launch to avoid counter-fire. That said, the enemy that might have seen the distant launch flashes also knows that in a minute they are due for an incoming hell, and are fucked, as the rockets are designed to spread out in a cone to smash dispersed infantry and artillery positions. You would not want to be on receiving end of a single Grad truck’s missile box, let alone a multiple line of these trucks firing their boxes in a staggered order.

Glad to teach you some very basic strategic hardware information – but since Grads have been in service since mid-sixties – if plan on commenting on hardware systems perhaps open a new tab search on your browser before remarking.

Russia can’t use its TOS-1 “Burning Sun” thermobaric bomb launchers in the cities. That’s because there are too many civilians in those locales. The civilians are intermixed with UAF positions and defensive works.

Possibly UAF is deliberately preventing Ukrainian cities from exited the combat zone.

Western media refuses to report on the fact that UAF positions are built right into civilian neighborhoods and infrastructure in the cities. That’s in addition to refusing to explore claims that UAF and Nazi Volunteer Battalion troops are preventing civilians from exiting these combat zones.

Sörenson

Did it ever come to your downgraded homunculus mind, that it is the civilian population of Ukraine which your stupid Putin invader poopers are fighting against ? Every day more civilians join the battle against the communist invader brute. That’s why Russia can only lose. If you come into hostile territory fighting 60-80% of the population + their army, and the country having open borders to supportive countries, which pour a never ending stream of weapons, ammunition and supplies into the ring, then you should know, that there is no winning this thing.

The Ukrainian Army will fight on, but will – over time – more and more transform into different insurgent armies. And till that moment another 2-3 or 5 thousand russian invaders morons will be dead, and become a model for their comrades who will soon follow them on their way to hell, while Russia is drawn deeper and deeper into this hellish quagmire of no return.

Within 2 months Russia will then have lost nearly half the amount of troops it lost in round about 10 year long Afghanistan war. Repeat: in just 2 months ! And keep in mind: The western war-machine has only just begun and is starting to warm up, and is by now not even half way on full capacity modus yet. But now, even before the real war has even started, masses of russians are already lying around dead in Ukraine like torched ants and squeezed stinky beetles. And the bigger and more devastating the weapons the invader scum is using the more painful they actually shoot themselves into the foot, without even getting it.

That is the thing that make guerilla wars so unwinnable for the invader. With every enemy you kill, you’re calling another 5 or 10 into life. The more you kill, the harder and tougher the enemy becomes. And soon, there is no distinguishing between civilian and enemy soldier anymore. Just millions of enemies and death-traps everywhere. Slowly even the russians start to realize the gigantic shit avalanche which Putin has kicked loose onto them. There is no way out for Putin anymore. The invasion ran into a quagmire and is sinking in deeper and deeper, with every passing day.

But the sad, bigger picture is, that there is likely also ‘no way out’ from World War 3 for all of Europe anymore.

Correct, down the rabbit hole for Russia. It’s getting only worser day by day or how even a possible win over Ukraine means the collapse of the invader so ; a small win that is a huge lose a Pyrrhus win or is it a Puthurs win.

BangderaSteponPutin

The only thing the Russians are tossing into battle are their low grade untrained recruits who usually drop quickly or surrender when faced with the highly experienced, highly motivated, war hardened professional warriors of the Ukrainian Armed forces. Russia is getting these little boys all packed and frozen, in normal cargo trains which are headed to Belarus and the cold Ukrainian March keeps their remains well preserved. As for the big bad flamethrowers, they are perfect targets for perfectly aimed Ukrainian javelins and artillery and when that thing blows, you better stay away our they might wipe out your entire battalion. The big bad flamethrowers might sound good in theory, but in a real life war scenario is a massive liability for anyone within 1 km from its location. The three operators of this volatile contraption usually make preemptive mortuary arrangements for themselves without the possibility to recover any remains. So this big barrel of high explosive is practically impossible to defend and is a major target for Ukrainian armour hunters looking for a fun kill with a big bang.

Numbnuts, the war is almost over. There is no conventional capacity left in the Ukrainian forces. They have been completely degraded, and reduced to Fall of Berlin Volkssturm Panzerfaust attacks. You believed the Americans because you’re ignorant and brainwashed, and it’s too late now.
