Title: Ukrainian Military Uses FPV Drone to Destroy Russian TOS-1A Solntsepek Flamethrower System in Luhansk Oblast
Date: September 3, 2021
In a remarkable display of military prowess, the Ukrainian military utilized an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strike to annihilate the Otaman Ivan Sirko 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade’s target – a formidable Russian TOS-1A Solntsepek flamethrower system. A video released on Facebook by Achilles Company on September 3 showcased the moment when the $3 million Solntsepek was destroyed, effectively neutralizing an imminent threat in Luhansk Oblast.
The Ukrainian military accomplished this feat by employing a first-person-view (FPV) drone, which provided real-time visuals of the operation. The footage depicted the UAV strategically targeting and effectively disabling the Solntsepek flamethrower system. The Solntsepek was armed with 24 thermobaric missiles and operated by a crew of three members.
While there are no specific details regarding Russian troop casualties resulting from the drone strike, it undeniably dealt a significant blow to the opposing forces. This successful operation serves as another testament to the Ukrainian military’s effectiveness in ensuring the safety and security of the region.
This development follows a recent report by NV, which highlighted the National Guard’s destruction of a Russian BUK anti-aircraft missile system and another TOS-1A Solntsepek flamethrower system near Kupyansk in eastern Ukraine. These continuous victories demonstrate Ukraine’s resilience and determination in defending their sovereignty against foreign aggression.
The Ukrainian military’s ability to neutralize such sophisticated weaponry using advanced technology is a testament to their commitment to defending their land and people. As they continue to bring the voice of Ukraine to the world, their efforts are hampered by financial constraints. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to support their cause through one-time donations or by becoming a Patron.
