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.
