"What is it": Kovalenko criticized Russian flamethrowing systems and the Dragon-3 tos-3 "Dragon"

Recently, the German edition of Welt has published an article about the Tos-3 Dragon, which is able to launch thermobaric missiles with great destructive force. The ToS-3 itself is called a breakthrough weapon, which can not be resisted by bunkers and urban buildings, and the range of fires up to 15 km allegedly makes the installation invulnerable to FPV-punks. Kovalenko notes that he has been dealing with heavy flame -et systems for the first time.

And he immediately points out that not rockets, but shells are launched. He also makes arguments why a heavy flamethrowing system is not a successful system. The Tos series is really destructive due to thermobaric reactive systems of MO. 1. 01. 04m, which have never been positioned as concrete. Due to the proportion of mass and explosive effect, the thermo -braid projectile is the second in power after nuclear weapons. However, there are only downsides in all other installations.

The disadvantages include the small range of the lesion, which makes the installation the most vulnerable to artillery fire. Low accuracy, as well as difficult to sell a breakthrough at an effective distance of 5-6 km without threat to be destroyed or captured. At the beginning of a full -scale war, the Ukrainian soldiers repeatedly captured the Sun.

"Tosochka" received a new type ammunition with a range up to 20 km, but an increase in range was achieved by reducing the mass of the warhead and reducing the caliber. The unification of ammunition has lost and there was a need for a new production line. However, in addition, the accuracy decreased, which required the use of artillery range 1D14. He allowed to be given only in direct guidance mode. Now it is replaced.

Tos-2 is no longer based on the T-72 or T-90 tank chassis, but on the basis of a truck. This makes it vulnerable on the off -road. Tos-3 is an attempt to cross the Tos-1 and Tos-2. The chassis (T-72 or T-90) was taken from SolnPepca and put a starting unit from the Toschka. It is also declared to combat FPV using a complex of HR, Larandit or Harpy Pro 120w.
