Russia’s campaign in Syria is once again grabbing headlines as reports are coming in from Moscow, claiming that they’ve hit 40 ISIS targets in the past 24 hours thanks to the deployment of Russian fighter jets and the TOS-1A weapon system.
The mobile rocket launcher, or TOS-1A, is a thermobaric weapon that can destroy eight city blocks in one strike. The thermobaric warheads attached spread a flammable liquid around a target and then ignites, causing massive devastation.
Photographs taken this past week, show that at least one of these weapons is being used by govnerment forces in Syria. You won’t believe some of the damage it can cause.

I like neat weapons but it really depends who their aimed at. Who says the targets are only ISIS? Russia? yea, right.
Way to go Russia!
-A thermobaric warhead is not a flamethrower— The US MOAB is a thermobaric weapon>
The concept dates from WWII coal dust artrillery shells used by the Germans at Stalingrad– several would be fire at a fortification or pillbox, coal dust filling the air filtering inside then a explosive round to detonate an air fueled explosion
ISIS picked the battlefield and Russia is more of a democracy than the US— you are about 25 yrs behind in your history —
Hell ya
Those are rocket launch tubes. Air-fuel munitions. Notably more effective than us doing as little as possible.
and death is easy when Isis and islamic terrorists behead Christians and one does anything right???
