The Northern Group of Soldiers used for the first time in Kharkiv Oblast, the renewed heavy flamethrower system (TOS) of Solantspek. This was announced by a gunner-operator with the exclamation mark Kot in a conversation with RIA Novosti. "The machine is new, a lot of automation has been added that speeds up the targeting process. Therefore, it always takes me about 20 seconds from the beginning of the work to the end, and to the direction of the goal," Kot said. The new Solantec is based on the T-80 tank, which increases the speed and maneuverability of the vehicle, and also allows it to perform combat missions in a safer way for the crew. In the past, the lightweight semi-automatic sniper rifle Elbrus was created for Russian special forces, chambered for a powerful long-range cartridge in caliber .338 Lapuy Magnum (8.61 millimeters).
