Russian forces have been seen harvesting fills from rockets associated with the TOS-1A and TOS-2 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) for use with UAV-delivered munitions

  • Russian forces have been seen harvesting fills from rockets associated with the TOS-1A (Ru: ТОС-1А) and TOS-2 (Ru: ТОС-2) multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) for use with UAV-delivered munitions

  • One video shows the reddish incendiary mixture from the MO.1.01.04M.OP rocket of the TOS-1A

  • A second video shows what is thought to be the MO.1.22.00 combined effects (thermobaric and preformed fragmentation) rocket of the TOS-2

  • The loss of artillery systems and significant increase in UAV usage routinely leads to explosive harvesting for use in UAV-delivered munitions
