TOS-1A Heavy Flamethrower System on T-72 Chassis

The TOS-1A utilises the T-72 chassis to mount a 24 barrel multiple rocket launch system designed to destroy enemy personnel in fortifications, open country or lightly armoured vehicles. TOS-1A are not assigned to Russian artillery units but to Russian CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological) defence units. The 220mm rockets originaly had a relatively short range of 3,500m but the TOS-1A extended this to 6,000m. TOS-1A units are supplied by KrAZ-255B cross country trucks equipped with cranes
