"A TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower crew from the 176th Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Detachment of the 25th Combined Arms Army of the Battlegroup West delivered a strike by thermobaric munitions on a Ukrainian army stronghold. This helped assault units to advance significantly in the Krasny Liman direction," the ministry said in a statement.
Russian aerial reconnaissance uncovered amassed enemy manpower at fortified positions. After receiving the target coordinates, the Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower crew advanced to a firing position. A reconnaissance drone adjusted fire in real time, following which the crew fired a salvo on the target. The Ukrainian army stronghold was destroyed by thermobaric munitions," it said.
