The Red Army has incorporated into its arsenal "Molotov cocktails" after the experience of conflict with the Japanese, Poles in 1939 and especially the Finns in the Winter War. Stavka (Headquarters) in 1941 issued a special orders for the for the Ministry of food industry to implement without delay the production of anti-tank incendiary shells in glass bottles ordinary type.Spontaneously flammable mixture KS developed in early August 1941 N. V. Koshkin and his collaborators A. Kachurin and I. Solodovnik. It consisted of a mixture of carbon disulfide, white phosphorus and sulfur. Was produced in special factory NIUF in Saratov. The combustible mixture. No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 developed even before the war in Saratov as mixtures based on a base of concentrated waste gasoline were originally designed for use in the flamethrower.
In autumn 1941, a military engineer K. M. Saldadze of the NKVD developed a concentrated mixture BGS (Бензольная Головка + Сольвент or Боевая Горючая Смесь). For the production are use the diesel fractions, waste resulting from the production of gasoline. BGS mixture was introduced in January 1942 into the arms of the Red Army, originally for use in flame throwers, but eventually became widely used to meeting Molotov cocktails. The ignition of flammable mixture of NO. 1, No.. 2, no. 3 and BGS was used the fuse, who consisted from a glass ampoule, containing sulfuric acid, Berthelot salt and powdered sugar. Further for the Molotov cocktails use ignitor of designer A. T. Kuchina, where the flammable liquid is mixed with sulfuric acid and coated the outside of the bottle of paper soaked in a mixture of chlorate and powdered sugar. After breaking bottles and mixing all the elements were flammable ignition. In the Tula arms factory to initiate ignition cylinder constructed GA Korobov mechanical percussion igniter, using the ignition of flammable mixtures Blank cartridge rifle 7.62 mm Mosin or two 7.62 mm pistol ammunition Nail TT.
These anti-tank incendiary devices left in its arsenal, even long after World War II.
