To extend: Flamethren units of the 704th Separate Brigade of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection of Forces of Supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine changed the tactics of using their means of damage. In the arsenal of the soldiers appeared the Ukrainian system of volley fire "Siva-VM8", intended for firing thermobaric ammunition. Ukrainian fighters effectively use the installation on the front line, said the representative of the 704th brigade Andriy Popchuk.

Earlier, flamethrowers acted in the assault groups, now they work as downtroduced fire calculations of combat brigades of defense forces. "Siva-VM8" is a compact and mobile system that effectively striking the enemy's living power hidden in armor, trenches and other engineering structures. When the ammunition is triggered, a cloud of combustible substance is created, which detonates with the formation of a powerful shock and heat wave capable of penetrating deeply protected shelters.

The system fires with aviation missiles (NAC) C-8 from wheeled vehicles, and can start 12 or, according to other data, 16 unmanaged ammunition. "Over the past six months, our units have performed more than 200 combat trips. Thanks to the exact fire" seeders ", the enemy's combat activity on the front line is reduced and space is opened to promote our assault groups," said Major Andriy Popchuk.

The system received positive feedback due to its mobility, the ability to quickly change fire positions and high efficiency at the near distances. At the same time, successful application requires high qualification of calculations, tactical coordination and clear interaction with infantry and artillery. Earlier, the soldiers of the 704th Separate Brigade of RCB protection, who are fighting in the Lyman direction, were demonstrated in the action of the Flameetic System of Sivale-VM8.
