An openly accessible pro-russian propaganda video filmed on the premises of the Omsktransmash (Omsk transport machine factory) plant has appeared.
In this video, hostile propagandists showed, among other things, the process of manufacturing tracks for various types of equipment, as well as the assembly line for producing TOS-1A Solntsepyok MLRS.

It is claimed that these flamethrower tanks are manufactured based on the T-72A, with appropriate modifications to accommodate a package of 24 220-millimeter reactive thermobaric shells. And also, during the full-scale invasion of russia, the production rates of the TOS-1 Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower systems increased "three to four times."
russians also claim that during the increase in production of the TOS-1 Solntsepyok, certain modifications to such machines were made. In particular, it is claimed that the driver's mechanic's workplace was equipped with a thermal imager, and the fire control system was also updated, allegedly allowing targeting in just 15 seconds.
It is indicative that at the moment, russian propagandists prefer to avoid the topic of the development of the new TOS-3 Dragon heavy flamethrower system, which allegedly combines the chassis from TOS-1 Solntsepyok and the guides from TOS-2 Tosochka.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that russia enhances Dragon systems capable of striking with thermobaric shells. Also, we reported that another russian TOS-1A Solntsepyok MLRS was eliminated by Ukrainian forces.
