Watch Russian Flamethrowers Reduce Ukrainian Fortifications to Dust
Heavy flamethrowers are one of the deadliest conventional weapons in the Russian arsenal, capable of unleashing a firestorm on the enemy.
The Russian Ministry of Defense has released a footage of the combat work of the OS-1A "Solntsepyok" heave flamethrower hammering Ukrainian positions in the special military operation zone.
"Solntsepyok" (Scorching Sunlight) is a thermobaric multiple rocket launcher that fires projectiles with a fuel-air explosive mixture. When detonated, it generates extreme heat of up to 3,000 degrees Celsius - hotter than the outer layers of some stars - enough to incinerate almost anything and melt the most advanced steel armor.
Watch New Russian Anti-Drone System Safeguard Tank in Ukrainian Conflict
Russian military units have become incredibly skilled at both using combat and surveillance drones and countering UAVs and FPV drones.
A short video recently released online by the Russian Ministry of Defense has offered a glimpse of a new electronic countermeasure employed by Russian forces in the Ukrainian conflict.
In the video featuring a Russian T-80BVM main battle tank dismantling a Ukrainian strongpoint, the “Saniya” anti-drone system can be seen mounted on the tank’s turret.
As one of the tank’s crew members explained, Saniya interferes with and suppresses the communications of enemy drones that attempt to enter its area of effect, creating a sort of protective dome around the vehicle it is installed on.
Watch Russian Grad MLRS Wreak Havoc on Ukrainian Positions
The Grad is a supreme Russian weapon that can easily cover an area the size of several football fields and reduce everything there to scrap and smoking ash.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing the Grad multiple launch rocket system in combat.
The video shows Grad crews destroying Ukrainian positions on the right bank of the Dnepr River. The Grad MLRS is designed to destroy enemy personnel and equipment with a shockwave and shrapnel from its missiles that spreads for hundreds of meters. Grad crews typically work with UAV operators who help them locate a target.
