4 weapons

Omsktransmash traces its lineage to 1896 railway workshops in Omsk and later became a major Soviet and Russian military-industrial plant. Public sources continue to describe it as a state-owned engineering company based in Omsk, with defense work centered on tracked armored vehicles and heavy rocket systems.

For this catalog, the builder context focuses on the systems already connected to the catalog: the T-80 family, especially the modernized T-80BVM, and the TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower system. Those records make Omsktransmash a key Russian production and modernization node for tracked armor.

Omsktransmash is listed as the manufacturer, and reference sources describe a two-person crew, seven carried troops, tank-level frontal protection, a 12.7 mm machine gun, and internal stowage for roughly 30 to 32 RPO launchers. In Ukraine, public evidence mainly documents Russian losses and one captured vehicle used by Ukrainian troops for recovery work rather than confirmed Russian flamethrower-squad employment.

Built around a BM-1 launcher on a tank chassis with transporter-loaders, it fires unguided 220 mm rockets to support infantry and armor against fortified positions, vehicles, and troops in cover. In the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War it has been documented in Russian service near the front line, where its short range creates both destructive local effects and high vulnerability to Ukrainian targeting.
