replies: text: We don’t know where it is, it might be in a Russian controlled area and has been towed away by now. Even if the Ukrainian army did capture it they wouldn’t count as operators unless they are actually operating it, which would need to be proven. PrismaCosmos (talk) 20:02, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Add Ukraine?

message: It is hard to see how this weapon could be called a flamethrower. It simply isn't a flamethrower, it's a rocket launcher, so it "throws" missiles, not fire. Judging by the very old topic "Naming" here-above, it's a mistranslation, and if that's indeed the case, then it has proliferated since, see
; related to TOS-1A
* List of equipment of the Russian Ground Forces
* List of equipment of the Azerbaijani Land Forces
* Thermobaric weapon
; not related to TOS-1A
* Armata Universal Combat Platform
"Spitting fire" (see Spitfire) or "spewing fire", like a dragon, used metaphorically, would indeed make sense, but this pseudo-technical use of the clearly defined English term "flamethrower" simply does not. Please clarify and modify all the affected articles accordingly. Thanks,  Arminden (talk) 17:41, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not up to me. That's why I pointed out to the translation of "SourCream&Onion" in the "Naming" discussion here-above, but he was a one-time-only contributor, so I don't know if to trust him. Is there a Russian topics forum around? They would be the right ones to ask. Good US and NATO sources would also be great, they have their own specialists. Arminden (talk) 09:08, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If you consider that "пулемёт" literally means "bullet-thrower" but is always translated as "machine-gun", and "миномёт" is literally "mine-thrower" but gets rendered as "mortar" or "mortar launcher", I think it would be reasonable to render the "огнемёт" in TOS as "MLRS with thermobaric warheads" or whatever. 184.146.49.106 (talk) 23:06, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a flamethrower! 

message: The article claims that the TOS-1 is "protected from precision weapons".
What on earth does that even mean?  That it is not protected from imprecise weapons?  Vaughan Pratt (talk) 07:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Protected from precision weapons? 

message: I am perfectly okay with adding Ukraine as operator with a SINGLE vehicle captured. But as moderators of other articles (See Javelin and NLAW articles) in this very wiki are blatantly opposed to add Russia and Donbass militias as operators, with DOZENS of them captured, so is TOS-1 here and I deleted the line. You don't want to be caught naked with double standards and hidden agendas, don't you? 2.143.11.115 (talk) 20:49, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Operators 

message: To suggest Ukraine is an 'operator' by way of having a few captured units is nonsense. Such equipment requires training, parts and ammunition etc. 220.253.243.14 (talk) 18:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps we should change the heading to "Trained large-scale operators" then? Imo you're splitting hairs over a contextual issue. AbominableIntelligence (talk) 10:49, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  How much is rockets thermobaric payload? 

message: "No ammo production in Ukraine means the only ammo for the systems which can be used is captured." can't Ukraine use modified uragan ammunition with the captured TOS-1s? I saw some speculation that they might be able to do that  D1d2d3d29 (talk) 15:55, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
