A dedicated carrier of thermobaric weapons is the purpose-built TOS-1, a 24-tube MLRS designed to fire 220 mm (8.7 in) thermobaric rockets. A full salvo from the TOS-1 will cover a rectangle 200 by 400 m (220 by 440 yd). [47] The Iskander-M theatre ballistic missile can also carry a 700 kg (1,540 lb) thermobaric warhead. [48]
The basic rocket is the RPO-A, which has a thermobaric warhead and is designed for attacking soft targets under moderate cover. The RPO-Z is a incendiary warhead (from зажигательный, zazhigatel'nyy, 'incendiary') designed to spread fire and ignite targets. The RPO-D is a smoke warhead (from дымовой, dymovoy, 'related to smoke').
The current model produced by the Russian Federation is the RPG-7V2, capable of firing standard and dual high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, high explosive/fragmentation, and thermobaric warheads, with a UP-7V sighting device fitted (used in tandem with the standard 2.7× PGO-7 optical sight) to allow the use of extended range ammunition.
An armoured multiple rocket launcher system, TOS-1A can launch missiles with thermobaric warheads and have deadly impact on infrastructure. Also known as aerosol bombs or vacuum bombs, the ...

Because of this, the bomb's blast and pressure wave have a similar effect to a small tactical nuclear weapon. [4] The bomb works by detonating in mid-air. Thermobaric weapons differ from conventional explosive weapons in that they generate a longer, more sustained blast wave with greater temperatures.
The TOS-2 (Tosochka) (Russian: тяжёлая огнемётная система [ТОС-2], romanized: Tyazhyelaya ognemyotnaya sistema [TOS-2], Heavy Flamethrower System) is a Russian multiple rocket launcher capable of using thermobaric warheads, mounted on a 3-axle truck chassis.
