MOSCOW, November 19. /tass/. State tests of a new long-range rocket for the Tosochka heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 will be completed by the end of this year. This was announced in an interview with TASS by the General Director of the A. N. Ganichev Alloy NGO (part of the Technodinamika holding of Rostec State Corporation) Alexander Smirnov.

"A new rocket has been developed. State tests are underway, the first experimental batch has been released for experimental military operation. We also plan to fully complete the testing of ammunition for the TOS-2 this year," he said, noting that the new projectile has an increased range and can also be used with the TOS-1A.

TOS-2 "Tosochka" is the "heiress" of the TOS-1A "Solntsepek" heavy flamethrower system with improved tactical and technical characteristics. Unlike its predecessor, it is made on the basis of the Ural car with increased load capacity and cross-country ability. It has an increased launch range of unguided rockets. Aiming, shooting and fire control of the TOS-2 are fully automated. A crane-manipulator is mounted on the machine, so the system does not need a transport-charging machine. In addition, the TOS-2 has a system of electronic protection against high-precision weapons.
