'Dragon's breath' kills Russian soldiers at lightning speed: drops of 2,000 degrees Celsius pure horror
A lot of videos surfaced this week showing the massive impact of a small fire-breathing drone from the Ukrainians.
The drone spread droplets of molten metal over a large area, as it were, creating horrific conditions.
The Ukrainians' fire-breathing drones, also known as “dragon's breath,” spew thermite. This is a dangerous mixture of metal powder and rust. Lighting the mixture creates heat of more than 2,000 degrees Celsius, enough to melt through steel plates.
This is how they proceed
A relatively inexpensive drone first scans the tree line. Then the drones drop the flammable liquid in places where Russian soldiers would be hiding. Almost immediately, the blazing hot thermite turns all the trees, bushes and just about everything around them to ashes, while Russian soldiers would be hiding there. All that remains after the offensive is an open plain. The mixture can also be thrown onto tanks, rendering the vehicles irrevocably unusable almost immediately.
So the name “dragon's breath” certainly seems to have been chosen for a reason....

Ukraine’s thermite drones are starting to be used on a large scale. This is literal hell dropped on those Russian troops.

In Russian channels there is great frustration regarding that new drone type.
