TOS-1s were first used in combat in Afghanistan's Panjshir valley by the Soviet Union during the Soviet–Afghan War.
Later, they were used during the Second Chechen War, prominently by the Russian Army during the Battle of Grozny in 1999.
TOS-1As were first used in combat in Iraq by the Iraqi Army in the recapture of Jurf Al Sakhar on October 24, 2014 from ISIL forces.
The Iraqi Army launched at least three TOS-1 rockets on 18 June 2017 during the first day of an offensive to recapture the Old City of Mosul, Iraq, from the Islamic State, targeting school buildings held by Islamic State forces and known to be devoid of civilians.
The OSCE reported in September 2015 that the TOS-1 was sighted in a rebel training area in eastern Ukraine.
The TOS-1 was used in Syria on October 10, 2015 by Syrian Army forces against rebel forces in Hama.
In 2016 it was used against rebel forces in the Latakia mountains.
It was used again by the Syrian Army in April 2017 in the area of Palmyra, and later that same month to destroy an ISIS camp.
Used once more by the SAA against ISIS in Al-Safa region in November 2018.
Azerbaijan used the TOS-1A against the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army on April 4, 2016.
Still these systems are under service of more than four countries.
