The video shows the Ukrainian drone flying over a line of trees, where Russian troops were believed to be sheltering, and launching flames to neutralize enemy positions.
The footage reveals large plumes of smoke rising from the trees as the drone conducts the attack.
The drone was equipped with thermite, a mixture of metal powder and metal oxide used in incendiary bombs, which reaches temperatures of over 2,400 °C.
This substance is so hot that it can melt steel, concrete, and, when in contact with human flesh, can cause burns down to the bone.
Despite its dangerous use, thermite is not banned by international arms control organizations for use in operations against enemy positions in active war zones.
However, since the beginning of the conflict, this tactical weapon has been widely used by the Russians against Ukrainian civilians.
The “flamethrower” drone attack occurred as Ukrainian forces advanced over Russian trenches, dodging heavy machine-gun fire from enemy lines.
