TERRIFYING "thermobaric" rockets that can explode enemy troops' lungs have been spotted heading to Ukraine, it was reported. The TOS-1 Buratino rockets are some of the most deadly non-nuclear weapons that can be deployed on the modern battlefield.

TOS in Russian stands for "heavy flame thrower". The TOS-1 launches a rocket carrying a fuel-air explosive (FAE), dubbed the "wall of napalm".
One of the fearsome launchers has been seen being transported on the back of a lorry near Belgorod in Russia, heading towards Ukraine, CNN reported.

It comes as Western officials have expressed concern Russia could deploy the devastating weapon amid signs that its advance had been slower than planned in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance. On official said: "My fear would be that if they don't meet their timescale and objectives, they would be indiscriminate in their use of violence."

Defence and national security commentator Charlie Gao said: "The Buratino and Solntsepek are very useful weapons for a military that might be going into urban combat with little regard for collateral damage." The deployment of the TOS-1 comes as Ukrainian forces have repulsed and initial Russian attempt to seize the capital Kyiv have so-far not been successful. Sources in Ukraine have previously shared videos of convoys of TOSs heading for the border.

Sharing screengrabs from a TikTok video of the military convoy, PhD student at the Department of War Studies at King's College London Rob Lee wrote: "Thermobaric troops on the move." Originally created as a long-range alternative to the handheld flamethrower, the TOS-1 and TOS-1A are designed to kill or crush any soft target in their path.


And the Buratino - a Russian equivalent of Pinnochio - is unique to Russia's military. The TOS-1's prominent launch unit - like a long nose - earned it the nickname Pinocchio. The self-propelled multiple rocket launcher system (MRLS) has already deployed by Moscow's generals in conflicts including Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq, and Syria.

Similar to the enormous 240mm 2S4 self-propelled mortar, the TOS-1 is designed to obliterate heavily-fortified positions. Some of its destructive power was demonstrated in the Second Chechnyan War between 1999 and 2000 when the breakaway Russian province's capital Grozny was razed to the ground. In one incident, a TOS-1 strike killed 37 civilians and wounded over 200 when a city block was razed to the ground.

A small explosive inside the FAE munition will spread a chemical cloud through the air like a lethal deodorant spray. This gassy cloud can seep everywhere, into buildings and trenches, before a secondary explosive then ignites the cloud, causing a massive, long-lasting explosion. The fiery blast can kill and maim in truly horrific ways, rendering body armour or hard cover useless.

Sebastian Roblin, a military expert, writing for 19fortyfive.com, said: "A TOS-1 rocket barrage will wipe out everything within the 200-by-300m blast zone." Further from the blast zone, pressure can break bones, dislocate eyes, cause internal haemorrhaging, and rupture eardrums, bowels, and other internal organs. They can also suck the oxygen out of lungs, causing them to collapse, suffocating their victims to death.

Putin must be insane

If you like deploy the undeployable you will never achieve your evil motive against Ukraine and the world..
What kinda evil monster is this..you are invading a sovereign country for no logical reason and still flexing muscles..

Putin won't escape the wrath that's about to befall him..this guy is a disaster to humanity..

Something is wrong with Putin.

Seems the spirit of disgrace has entered him just like Gaddafi, Stalin, Napoleon, Hitler and their ilks

Those vehicles will be neutralized Before it gets to range.

Let me give you a hint; US is actively passing satelite intels to Ukraine Military about movements of russian ground troops, and best position to attack them.

Any decisions right now by Russian is acceptable, ride on puti

Yep, USA and its NATO allies are closely monitoring....Truth be told, NATO/ US is not prepared for war with Russia. It is why they are using Ukraine to "test the waters" , so they could monitor very closely, and take lessons. Poor Ukraine

I do not know What is wrong with you people, US went to afghanistan to seek Osama bin laden and Remove the taliban goverment.

US invaded Aghanistan because the taliban refused then to hand over Osama.

US went to afghanistan because of 9-11, mission was accomplished and taliban booted out.

US occupied Afghanistan and afghans elected their own government.

There was relative peace when the US forces was occupying and Women have freedom for up to 20 years.

US provided and Trained Aghan military with Good equipments to Fight talibans.

US decided to pull out, and you should not blame them if the Sissies military of afghanistan decided to be lazy and not fight against the talibans they were superior to,in terms of equipments, instead they were more interest about money.

You can't tell me you are hungry, I provided you with foods, you have handsand yet want me to be spoon feeding you.

Hope you got the point.

That they were leaving tax payers money behind .. joke.. ) USA where defeated in Afghanistan .. with no secular state , No education for women , young boys need to stand by the side of their sisters to fight for their education rights! And then the USA troops cowardly flee..

I do not argue with kids, you just made so obvious you know nothing about the Aghanistan occupation by the US.
Now go and use google to help you improve your exposure about the Aghanistan Invasion by the US, this will help you a lot.

If Russia uses this weapon, let's not blame ukraine if they send theirs into communities in Russia too. But I doubt Putin has the balls to use the weapon
