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.

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

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!

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.

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. Markus
