Modelcollect UA72009 Russian TOS-1A Heavy Flame Thrower System 1/72

The Modelcollect UA72009 plastic model kit represents the Russian TOS-1A Heavy Flame Thrower System in 1/72 scale. This is a detailed miniature of one of the most unique weapons of the modern battlefield, used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The TOS-1A, also known as “Buratino,” is a multiple launch rocket system mounting thermobaric rockets on a T-72 tank chassis.

History and Application

The TOS-1A entered service in 2001–2002 and has since been used in modern armed conflicts such as in Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. The system was designed to provide direct support to infantry and armored forces, especially during assaults on fortified enemy positions. Its thermobaric rockets cause enormous devastation by utilizing the principle of vacuum pressure, which has made this weapon highly controversial on the international stage.
