History
History
• Illustration — Full side view of the TOS-2 On 12 January 2018, it was announced that NPO Splav was working on a prototype of a next generation TOS-1 system for preliminary tests. The system with improved tactical and technical characteristics will be made on a wheeled chassis. The new TOS-2 (Tosochka) system was first unveiled during the 2020 Moscow Victory Day Parade, and further showcased during the Kavkaz-2020 drills in September 2020. It is equipped with a more powerful TBS-M3 rocket and its own crane. It has also an increased range and is protected from precision weapons. The system uses the 6x6 Ural-63706-0120 all-terrain vehicle instead of the tracked armored chassis of the TOS-1A. The TOS-2 entered service with the Central Military District on 6 January 2021. In late May 2022, TASS reported that the system was deployed in Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. In October 2023, the TOS-2 system was sighted in the area surrounding Kreminna, Luhansk Oblast. It was reported in August 2024 that the range of the system has been extended, up to 20 km. Supplies of a masking coating began in October 2024. In February 2025, photos showing a destroyed TOS-2 MLRS in the Pokrovsk area were published on the internet. This represented the first confirmed loss of this system. As of 2025 June, OSINT defense analysis website Oryx lists one TOS-2 as destroyed and one as damaged.

Munitions
• The MO.1.01.04 are 3.3 m long and weigh 173 kg. The original rocket for the TOS-1A had a range of only 2700 m. Modernized systems with active protection, new engine and launchers and other improvements were delivered in early 2018. • The MO.1.01.04M rocket is 3.7 m long and weighs 217 kg. This version extends the range to 6000 m. The system was modernized in 2016. • The M0.1.01.04M2 rocket was upgraded in March 2020 to a heavier thermobaric warhead and better 10km range, to operate outside the range of modern ATGMs. • Illustration — Side view of the TOS-2 with closeup of small 3-link crane attachment • Illustration — Rear view of the TOS-2 • Illustration — TOS-2 system operating near Avdiivka
