A new level of cruelty: Russian military begins using ‘Dragon’ flamethrower system in Ukraine – Die Welt

Russia has begun using a new heavy flamethrower system called “Dragon”.

This is reported by the German newspaper Die Welt.

“With this dreadful weapon, Russia is reaching a new level of cruelty,” the publication writes.

The system is named TOS-3. It is more powerful, and most importantly, long-range (up to 15 km), compared to TOS-1 and TOS-2 (4-6 km), making it difficult to be targeted by Ukrainian drones.

Previous models of TOS (“Sunheat”, “Buratino”, “Tosochka”) could only strike from a short distance, and therefore were very vulnerable.

The “Dragon” launches rockets with thermobaric warheads of significant destructive power, one salvo of which can turn several city blocks “into ruins”, along with military fortifications and even bunkers.
