I’m genuinely curious how well those thermobarics work in the open when compared to a frag rocket.
When we flew with an AGM-114-N overseas, you basically had to spear someone with it to get effects on target if they were in the open. They were more meant for buildings with their longer blast-pressure curve and slight delay. Can’t imagine the tos1a is much different other than just being a bigger rocket.
I agree, even though armies were using similar strategies in ww2, I imagine thermobaric followed by incendiaries in cities is still pretty effective. Their old rockets have had issues with the decaying solid state fuel, and alot of duds, but quantity has a quality of its on. https://youtu.be/BWI1yag3oxc tos 1 info video
