Ukrainian dragon drones ignite panic and destruction in Russian ranks
The Ukrainian army has started using dragon drones, which drop a burning mixture at 4532 degrees Fahrenheit. The drones have already been used in the Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions. Kyiv has released new footage of attacks with "dragon drones" that are causing panic among Russian soldiers.
These drones do not drop grenades or fly to the target with explosives. "Dragon drones," which are spreading panic among the Russians, cause injuries in another way. The principle of the "dragons" is simple: they scatter a flammable mixture over the enemy, causing the area below the drone to catch fire.
Burns everything in its path
As Channel 24 describes, it takes just 20 seconds of fiery rain to set a strip of forest approximately 328 feet long on fire. The most important thing is that the fire ignites ammunition, causing it to detonate.
"The burning temperature of thermite is about 4532 degrees Fahrenheit, which means that the hot mixture corrodes even iron within a few seconds, and mortars, grenades, and bullets become lethal to their owners," it reads.
The drones have been used, among others, by the 108th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade of Ukraine in the Zaporizhzhia region, the Unmanned Systems Battalion from the 42nd Mechanized Brigade in the Kharkiv region, and the 60th Separate Mechanized Brigade.
Russia is panicking. Ukrainians have the "dragon drone"
The use of the "dragon drone" was confirmed for the first time on Tuesday. "Russians are terrified and panicking. Ukrainians have the 'dragon drone.' It shells enemy positions with a flamethrower," wrote Ukrainian journalist Andriy Tsapilienko, a war correspondent for TSN.
Yuriy Butusov, editor-in-chief of the Censor.net portal, commented on the footage from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, noting that it was previously used by the Russian channel "Rybar," whose sources are close to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
