Your next flamethrower?
Burning to the ground: Russian NBC Protection Troops will receive a modernized heavy "Solntsepek" (Translations: Sunscorch, Blazing Sun) flamethrower system.
The combat vehicle is based on a modified T-72A chassis and fitted with a rotating launch system for 24 unguided thermobaric rockets. All rockets can be launched within 6 to 12 seconds.
The improvement process was aimed at increasing the protection against anti-tank weapons. The use of modern sighting and navigation systems, as well as new unguided rockets will reduce the time for planning and executing combat missions.
The modernization has also increased the range and accuracy of fire, and the impact area of a round.
