Not nuclear; this one is more special.

WHOOPS! My bad, it is in fact an MLRS system type...which I misinterpreted as you naming a specific Russian weapon...which what I'm asking for in the puzzle.

As I have realized my error above and corrected same...it is not a missile launcher as defined in WIKI; although anything that shoots out of something is a 'missile' imho!

Big hint: both your U2 puzzle and mine are in similar condition. Mine was first deployed in the Panshir valley in Afghanistan.

Ostfriese · 02-20-23, 12:46 AM

TOS launcher? If yes: as you mentioned Afghanistan, it's likely the earliest model, a TOS-1.

Aktungbby · 02-20-23, 01:12 AM

U got it!

This one, a TOS 1A, the Ukranians destroyed is the puzzle's photo. It fires thermobaric rockets with utterly devastaing effect. The video of its destruction is pretty awful; I cannot imagine any of the 3 crew got out. Over 2 U!

Quote:

The Ukrainians blew it up. Dramatically. A TOS-1A is a 24-pack of 220-millimeter “flamethrowing” rockets mounted on a tank chassis. Hit a TOS-1A, and it’s likely to explode in a billowing fireball and scatter flame and rocket-parts in all directions.

That’s exactly what happened on or before Valentine’s Day, when the Ukrainian army’s 72nd Mechanized Brigade struck a TOS-1A outside Vuhledar. As Ukrainian cameras recorded from the sky and the ground, the Russian launcher burst like a giant firework.

I’d say most of the work had already been done by Markus, so I happily concede the crown to him and let him do the next one.

I just couldn't remember the names yesterday TOS and thermobaric

Ostfriese No you have the ball-It's part of the game..a member may get a question correct-Which may lead another to the solution. In this case you.

OK, but you'll have to wait until the late afternoon (European Time), because I'll have to get back to work.

This must surely be a picture of it before it blew up, yes?

Ostfriese · 02-20-23, 10:45 AM

Who, what, where?
