The resulting gases, breaking through the bottom of the pyropropatron, ignite the main ignition hangar. The mass of the formed gases and their thermal energy is enough to create the necessary conditions for the ignition of the fuel charge and its sustainable combustion"
Gas Generator for the Hydraulics and Electrical power supply systems most likely. (both are powered by a turbine power unit).
