Russia's TOS-1A Solntsepyok (lit. “Scorching Sunlight”) is a powerful and devastating multiple rocket launcher system designed to deliver a high volume of high-explosive incendiary (HEI) rockets capable of causing massive damage to enemy forces and infrastructure.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system crews from the Ivanovo Airborne Troops destroying Ukrainian strongholds on the outskirts of Chasov Yar, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"Crews of the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower systems of the Ivanovo paratroopers destroyed fortified infantry positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the outskirts of Chasov Yar. The successful work of our heavy flamethrower systems allowed the assault groups of the Ivanovo paratroopers to occupy and clear the Ukrainian Armed Forces strongholds with minimal losses," the ministry said.
Chasov Yar is located 15 kilometers (9 miles) west of the city of Artyomovsk.
Earlier, Yan Gagin, an adviser to acting DPR Head Denis Pushilin, said that the Russian Armed Forces had entered the suburbs of the city of Chasov Yar in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), which has been heavily fortified and mined over the past year.
The city of Chasov Yar holds significant operational and strategic importance due to its location on a dominant height that provides control over the path to the largest agglomeration in Donbass still under Ukrainian control – the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk area and Konstantinovka.
Watch Russian Su-34 Fighter-Bombers Strike Enemy Units
Russia’s Su-34 is a multirole fighter-bomber designed to perform a variety of missions, including air-to-air combat, ground attack, and reconnaissance. The Su-34 is known for its high speed, maneuverability, and advanced avionics.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing Su-34 crews carrying out powerful strikes against enemy units. The pilots use high-explosive aerial bombs with universal planning and correction modules, which allow performing precise strikes from outside the enemy's air defense kill zone.
The footage shows the destruction of a Ukrainian command post and personnel in Battlegroup Vostok’s area of responsibility.
Watch Russian troops destroy Ukrainian multiple rocket launcher
A clip showing a Russian high-precision drone strike against a Ukrainian Soviet-made BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher has emerged on social media.
The weapon system was discovered by Russian troops somewhere in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region, according to the Telegram channel that published the clip. Moscow’s forces have been engaged in offensive operations in the region in recent days. In the video, a drone operator can be seen pinpointing the rocket launcher’s location and locking his kamikaze UAV on the target before striking it.
The clip ends with the Grad going up in flames. The strike resulted in a massive explosion since the launcher was apparently fully loaded. According to some media reports, Russian troops in Kharkov Region have been successfully using kamikaze Lancet drones to isolate Ukrainian forces in the area and strip them of fire support by specifically targeting artillery and missile launchers.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not commented on the reports or provided details about the tactics used during the operation. The ministry also did not list the Grad system among the losses suffered by Kiev’s forces over the past 24 hours.
The ministry did report in its daily briefing on Telegram that Russian forces continue to advance in Kharkov Region, adding that the village of Bugrovatka has become the latest settlement to fall under Russian control in the area. Over the past 24 hours, Kiev’s troops lost more than 130 soldiers, as well as two armored vehicles, a Czech-made Vampire multiple rocket launcher, a German-made Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, and several artillery pieces in the northeastern Ukrainian region alone, the statement said.
Kiev’s military intelligence chief, Kirill Budanov, recently admitted that the situation is “on the edge.” “Every hour this situation moves toward critical,” he told the New York Times on Monday.
Russian troops have seized numerous villages in the northern part of Kharkov Region since the start of their offensive last week. The area has been used by Kiev for months to launch cross-border attacks into Russia’s Belgorod Region.
Watch Russian Assault Squads Liberate Village From Ukrainian Militants
While the Kiev regime keeps hoping that it might be saved by some additional handouts from the West and another hundred thousand press-ganged Ukrainians, Russian forces continue their march across the Ukrainian conflict zone, freeing settlement after settlement.
This short video offers a glimpse of how Russian forces liberated the village of Berdychi in the Donetsk People’s Republic. At first, the Ukrainian garrison offered stiff resistance, one of the Russian soldiers who participated in the battle for the village recalls.
However, once the Kiev regime militants realized what they were up against, their resolve faltered and they started falling back, eventually surrendering control of the village.
