The Ukrainian Defense Forces have destroyed a hundred Russian heavy flamethrower systems (HFS) since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on Facebook and shared a video showing the destruction of some of these systems.
“Russian occupiers have already lost 100 heavy flamethrower systems since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The video from the Command of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces shows the destruction of some of them,” the post reads.
According to the General Staff, Russian forces have used the first version of the HFS Buratino (TOS-1), the modernized Solntsepyok (TOS-1A), and the wheeled system Tosochka (TOS-2).
Additionally, in 2024, Russia publicly demonstrated a new tracked heavy flamethrower system called the TOS-3 Dragon, developed by Omsktransmash, as part of a propaganda campaign. The General Staff notes that the current fate of this system is unknown.
