Ukraine obliterates Russian rocket launchers with US howitzers in ongoing conflict.

Ukraine has reportedly destroyed at least two Russian TOS-1A thermobaric rocket launchers, which are one of Russia's most effective weapons in repelling the Ukrainian counteroffensive, using US-supplied Paladin 155mm artillery systems. The TOS-1A is used to clear out buildings, field fortifications, and bunkers and is considerably more destructive than conventional explosives. If Ukraine continues to damage these systems, it could affect Russia's defensive capabilities, due to Russian forces' apparent reliance on these weapons.
