"Progrev-T" was the tank, what used the gas turbines as the flamethrowers, and this thing was one of the most notorious versions of the flamethrower-tank, what was ever created, and this tank saw action in Afghanistan. The difference between this and the normal flamethrower tank was, that the "Progrev-T "was also given very hard pressure-punch, and that made it very multipurpose vehicle.

It could burn camouflage, and also use the high-temperature and high-pressure gas to the target. The used Jet-engine was the same model, what has been used in MiG-15 fighters, and it causes a very influential effect in enemy troops. The system was made for tanks, but there were stories, that similar jet-engines but in the smaller scale have been installed in some personal vehicles, what are used in the special missions of the KGB.

And if those miniature turbines have been installed in some Soviet limousines for giving extra power to those cars, what were reserved for the highest rank leaders of the Soviet Union. But also the similar weapon systems, what was used in tanks were installed in the cars like Chaika limousines. Some of those cars, what was used by KGB were equipped with flamethrowers and machine guns, what mission was to keep the protected persons alive even in the cases of the riot.

That's why Chaikas and Volgas, were sometimes equipped with the side working acetylene-oxygen flamethrowers, what gives the flame, what is over 3500 degrees Celsius, and machine guns, what mission was to stop attackers. Those vehicles were used with KGB protective groups and the mission of those teams was also stop their client's try to escape from the convoy. Also, those vehicles were claimed to use in the strikes in Western Europe, but there is no proof, that those cars would have an offensive use.
