This is the terrifying moment a Ukrainian 'flamethrowing drone' set Russian defences alight with incendiaries that can burn up to 2,400C.

I am, and have been, a supporter of Russia’s basic position in this conflict - but, I am also a supporter of the fundamental position that if you choose the laws and usages of war to gain your rights or your objectives, you can’t then complain that war sucks, or that there are unforeseen consequences, and you had better know that if you win you get what you want, but if you lose you get nothing or less that nothing.

Both sides seem to be using similar devices.
This needs to happen to those at the Daily Mail, since the love death and destruction so much. /spit

I feel for you.
This is why I am happier than you.
Question is was this an American weapon supplied to Ukraine.

Seems like a ripe environment now for small expendable defensive drones.
It’s not as horrifying as it looks. See my post here:

Trump will end this madness.
How much more territory will Ukraine lose this week?
