KUBINKA /Moscow region/, August 26. /TASS/. Omsktransmash (part of the Uralvagonzavod concern of the Rostec State Corporation) is modernizing the TOS-1A Solntsepek heavy flamethrower system.

"Improvements are being made across the entire spectrum of the vehicle's device - this is security, this is communication means and fire control means. It will be a significantly upgraded car, " he said.

According to him, the creation of the "Sun" will be completed in the near future. "The appearance of this car is a matter of the near future," Lobov said.
