The scene is of some Russian place. Russian armed soldiers and armored vehicles are hidden under tall trees. Then suddenly a drone comes flying from above. It releases a strong wave of fire from above the trees downwards. This fire is not like a normal fire. It sticks to the place where it falls. Like molten lava.

This fire burns the entire cluster of trees. Then there are explosions in it. That is, Russian weapons start exploding. This new fire-spitting drone is being called by many names. In common language it is called Flamethrower Drone. In a fancy way it is called Dragonfire Drone. Apart from this, its real name in defense is Thermite Drone.

The Ukrainian army had posted its video on its Telegram handle. After which it created a ruckus on X. This type of drone is operated by Ukraine’s 108th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade. First this drone spits fire on the enemy hiding under the trees, after which it drops all the remaining weapons down.
Thermite bomb is the favorite of Ukrainian soldiers
A few months ago, Ukraine had used thermite bombs on Russian soldiers. These bombs would explode a little high in the air. After this, they would set fire to a large area or release flammable substances. These were being used especially to burn Russian vehicles. So that they would burn and get destroyed.
What is thermite, which is being used?
This is a high temperature chemical mixer. Rusty iron oxide and aluminium powder are mixed in it. The temperature of thermite reaches 2204 degrees Celsius or more. This means that whatever this type of weapon is used on will melt.

Burns tanks or armored vehicles
Ukrainian soldiers also use thermite grenades so that tanks can attack important parts of armored vehicles and burn them. If this grenade is dropped inside the hatch of the tank, it produces so much heat that the shells kept inside start exploding. This kills the soldiers present in the tank. The tank or armored vehicle burns completely.
The enemy’s game ends in 22 seconds
One or more thermite containers are installed under the fire-spitting drone. One container usually weighs 2.25 kg. It burns for about 22 seconds. These 22 seconds are enough to burn and destroy any weapon of the enemy. Therefore, if there are many containers, then all are connected to each other. They keep burning one after the other. Later these containers are dropped on the enemy. The drone goes away.
