Obverse description
Colour image of TOS-1A Solntsepёk, heavy flamethrower system, multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), mint mark and inscriptions. The 220 mm caliber rocket was loaded with 200 liters of special aerosol explosives. When detonated, such ammunition detonates near the target surface. As a result, the ``warhead`` of the aerosol fire mixture with air ignites. When detonated, two main damaging factors arise: a shock wave with a temperature of up to 2 thousand degrees and high pressure, which literally melts the enemy`s equipment and manpower.
