Ukraine has started using dangerous ‘dragon drones’ to respond to the Russian attack. The Ukrainian Defense Ministry posted several videos on social media on Wednesday. The video shows the drone flying over trees. It is throwing lava, which has caused a forest fire. According to CNN, the Ukrainian army has used it to eliminate Russian soldiers hiding under trees. Thermite has been used in this drone, which is a mixture of aluminum powder and iron oxide. It burns at a temperature of 4 thousand degrees Fahrenheit. When this drone flies, it emits lava that looks like a dragon from mythology. This is why it is called a dragon drone. The lava coming out of this drone can melt not only trees but also steel. Both Russia and Ukraine are using thermite
According to the report, both Russia and Ukraine are using it. Russia used thermite bombs on the eastern Ukrainian city of Vuhladar in 2023. Burning thermite cannot be extinguished quickly, so all heavy vehicles or weapons that come in its range are destroyed. Now Ukraine’s 60th Mechanized Brigade is using it. He wrote on social media that these drones are so accurate that no other can compete with it. He said that when our ‘Vidar’ flies, Russian women will not be able to sleep. Vidar is the god of the old sea warriors Vikings who are known for revenge. According to the report, thermite was first prepared by a German chemist in 1890. It was originally used to connect railway tracks. But later it started being used in war as well. Germany used it for the first time in war. They dropped it from a zeppelin on Britain. Zeppelin is a type of balloon. After this, America used it in Tokyo in the Second World War. The US Army also used it extensively in Vietnam. According to the report, there is no ban on its use against the military, but ordinary citizens cannot be targeted with it. According to the United Nations Disarmament Office, incendiary weapons cause large-scale destruction and damage to the environment and create such fires. According to the report, the US military has also used thermite in grenades. The US military produced thermite grenades from 1960 to 2014. After the Ukraine war started, the US has started making it again.
