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. This was announced to TASS during the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021" by the general director of the enterprise Igor Lobov.

"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.

As the head of Omsktransmash noted, the TOS-1A remains relevant on the battlefield. "Every month new videos about one or another of its combat applications appear on the network. And everywhere they say that it was successful. The car is quite in demand and has a high ratio of cost and efficiency, " said Lobov.

TOS-1A "Solntsepek" is a flamethrower system on a tank chassis. It uses unguided rockets of 220 mm caliber with a thermobaric warhead to destroy the enemy's manpower, its military equipment and fortifications with a volumetric explosion.

The International military-technical Forum "Army-2021" is held in the Patriot Shopping Center from August 22 to 28.

An edit was made to the news (11: 16 Moscow time) - the time of the creation of the machine in the third paragraph is specified in connection with the change of data by the enterprise, correctly - the question of the nearest time.
