At the beginning of April, Militarnyi reported that the soldiers of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade and the 60th Separate Mechanized Inhulets Brigade detected and destroyed a TOS-1А Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system.

The system was reportedly tracked for two weeks, it was protected by electronic warfare and caused a lot of damage to Ukrainian soldiers on the ground.

In end effect, FPV drones destroyed the TOS-1А Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system, while the 21st Mechanized Brigade and 95th Air Assault Brigade performed target illumination.

Militarnyi previously reported that a night FPV drone of the 12th Azov Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine destroyed a Russian TOS-1А Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system in the Donetsk region.

The heavy flamethrower system was on its way to attack the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Kreminna sector.

It was discovered and destroyed on the march near the village of Terny, located on the border of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. The ammunition of the combat vehicle immediately detonated, leaving no chance for the crew to survive.

On March 11, Militarnyi reported that a drone of the 46th Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the TOS-1А Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system in the Donetsk region.

The incident took place near Russian-held Mariinka in the Donetsk region, which continues to be one of the most active areas along the Russian-Ukrainian front.

The powerful explosion that completely destroyed the launcher after a Ukrainian FPV drone hit it indicates that it was carrying a munition that the invaders intended to use to fire at Ukrainian defenders.
