Ukrainian ‘Dragon Drones’ Torment Russian Positions
Ukrainian forces are deploying "dragon drones" that ignite Russian positions with thermite, a highly combustible substance.
Footage captured by the 205th battalion shows a drone dropping fire on a treeline at night, creating large blazes. The tactic aims to inflict severe burns and instill fear among enemy troops.
Ukraine has reportedly employed dragon drones in multiple regions, including Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Kursk. Russia may also have developed its own version.
The military impact of dragon drones is still uncertain, but experts say they could force Russian troops to retreat.
However, human rights groups are raising concerns about the potential use of thermite in civilian areas, which is prohibited under international law.
