Two years ago, the Dozor-B armored car, known for its unreliability, was presented for the first time, which, according to the developers, was turned into a light mobile flamethrower system "Speca" ("Heat").
According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta (the project "RG: Russian weapons" ), ten 122-mm guides were mounted on the running layout.
This installation was planned for the use of thermobaric rockets RS-122TB.The length of such ammunition is almost one and a half meters. The weight of the warhead is eleven and a half kilograms. The maximum firing range is seven kilometers.

In the transport position, the launch tubes were lowered into the hull, and the aft part was covered with a massive armored plate.
The development of the "Heat" was carried out by the Kharkov Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, the Shepetovsky Repair Plant and the Kiev company Artyom.
The designers seriously called their brainchild almost an analogue of Russian flamethrower systems. Although it is obvious to any specialist that, in comparison, for example, with the CBT-2, the Ukrainian "creation" looks like a pathetic craft.
It was reported that most of the work will be completed by the end of 2021, but it was not possible to do this, and Speca became another example of the complete degradation of the Ukrainian military industry.
