KURSK, May 22. /TASS/. The TOS-1A Solntsepek heavy flamethrower crews of Russia’s Battlegroup North’s nuclear biological, and chemical (NBC) defense units have destroyed five Ukrainian armed forces’ strongpoints, four unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control posts, and more than 25 enemy personnel in the Sumy Region in one day, flamethrower platoon commander, call sign Rim, told TASS.
"The Battlegroup North’s TOS-1A crews destroyed five strongholds, four UAV control stations, and more than 25 Ukrainian personnel in the Sumy Region in the last day. The Battlegroup North’s unmanned systems operators identified targets in the Sumy Region. TOS-1A crews moved into position at night and fired thermobaric munitions at all identified targets. The targets were completely destroyed," the officer said.
Rim noted that the work of the NBC protection crews is making a significant contribution to the advancement of Russian units along the entire line of contact.
"In the Sumy Region, crews of the Battlegroup North’s Solntsepek heavy flamethrower systems carry out daily fire missions to destroy fortified permanent strongholds, positions, and dugouts housing enemy personnel. Heavy flamethrower systems allow for the effective destruction of fortifications and other reinforced structures, as well as lightly armored enemy vehicles," he said.
