In the battlefields of Ukraine, the ground begins to shake with the slow, but steady movement of a lethal Russian TOS-2 Thermobaric Rocket Launcher, an powerful rocket artillery system called the “flamethrower” due to the devastation it brings to the battlefield.
Mounted on a powerful tank chassis and heavily armored, the TOS-2 Tosochka is no common rocket system, it was envisioned to fire thermobaric projectiles with unprecedented power.
These warheads, shrouded in secrecy by the Russian military, are precision-engineered instruments of destruction filled with high-temperature, high-pressure explosives.
As enemy soldiers realize the TOS-2s has arrived at the scene, it is too late to retreat. This ‘vacuum bomb’ strikes the nearby buildings and explodes, releasing a cloud of lethal material and sucking the oxygen from the impact area to generate a powerful pressure wave vaporizing everything within reach.
From fortifications and buildings, to armored vehicles and personnel, the thermobaric projectile leaves nothing standing to stop the Russian soldiers from advancing as the world watches.
