Diminutive names, such as "Tosochka", or "flower", like "Tulip" or "Hyacinth", belong to a formidable weapon. According to the established tradition in Russia, defense products are often given non-standard names.

Sometimes there is a fair amount of irony in such names. As an example, the Penicillin artillery reconnaissance complex can be cited. Of course, it has nothing to do with medicine. It is capable of detecting enemy artillery, determining its location by sound or using thermal imaging equipment.

The "wellness" technique can also include the troposphere station "Diagnosis", as well as some other.

It's hard to say what the developers were guided by, calling the infantry shovel "Excitement", but the name turned out to be unusual and memorable.

They like to give affectionate female names to our weapons. As an example, it is worth mentioning a series of submarines bearing the affectionate Old Russian name "Lada". This tradition goes back to the Great Patriotic War, when the first Soviet multiple launch rocket system BM-13 was called "Katyusha".

A certain "trolling" can be seen in the name of the heavy flamethrower system (CBT) "Solntsepek". And her next version was affectionately called "Tosochka".

Probably, in order for our servicemen to have an association with home warmth, they decided to call the shatterproof blanket "Comfort".

Developers of special means for law enforcement officers adhere to a similar principle. An example of this can serve as a rubber baton "Argument" or handcuffs "Tenderness".
