Ukraine's 'Dragon' drones unleash fiery havoc on russian lines

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are increasingly using drones equipped with thermite to carry out attacks on the enemy. These drones, used during night operations, create a formidable spectacle and resemble dragons breathing fire, destroying everything in their path. They target the Russians hiding on the front line.

The war that Russia started in February 2022 is reaching a new level on the front line. Since August, Ukrainian armed forces have been increasingly bold in venturing into Russian territory, conducting daring offensive operations.

One of the latest videos circulating on social media shows how Ukrainian forces, under the cover of night, are conducting an attack on Russian positions using advanced technologies. It involves drones equipped with thermite.

A caption appeared under the video: "The night is not frightening to Ukrainian dragons," suggesting that Ukrainians have mastered the art of night attacks to perfection. The video shows a spectacular but terrifying image of a drone hovering over a small forest, flooding the area with streams of fire.

It is worth noting that the area engulfed in fire is so hot that people within its range cannot survive. Temperatures are so high that even the crews of armoured vehicles, which usually protect from most standard attacks, can be destroyed.

Materials such as thermite and semi-liquid phosphorus, likely used in this operation, can burn through metal structures and penetrate armour, creating a deadly trap for the crew.

The video shows how the drone continues its devastating raid for an extended period, systematically spreading fire. The fire not only destroys everything in its path but also cuts off all escape routes, dooming the soldiers hiding there to certain death.
