History
Conceived in the 1970s to neutralise bunkers and mountain fortifications, the TOS-1 is the world's only heavy MLRS dedicated to thermobaric munitions. The TOS-1A Solntsepyok variant (2001) increases the tube count to 24 and improves protection and telemetry; the TOS-2 Tosochka (2020) moves it onto a 6x6 truck.
