The ground forces of Saudi Arabia began to actively use heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A against supporters of the Ansar Allah movement.

In social networks, there were shots of night shooting of one of these combat vehicles. The installation was deployed in a desert area and fired five 220-mm rockets at the enemy.

A photo of the firing during daylight hours has also been released. However, it is not yet reported how effective these attacks were.

The first data on the appearance of the kingdom of "Suns" appeared in early April 2019. It is known that the contract itself is 2017.

After the arrival of the CBT in the region, some experts expected that they would almost immediately be thrown into battle, but it seems that this has only happened now.

Saudi Arabia became the seventh foreign country to purchase this system - one of the most destructive and effective in the world.

The T-90S main battle tanks with combined armor and built-in dynamic protection are used as the platform on which the package with 24 guides is mounted. Engine power-1000 hp Maximum speed on the highway - 60 km/h. Crew - 3 people.

Currently, 220-mm unguided rockets with a maximum range of 6000 meters have been developed for flamethrowers. They are just adapted for use in conditions of 50-degree heat.
