Ukraine has deployed drones equipped with molten thermite to target Russian-held positions in eastern Ukraine, specifically in the Donetsk region. Thermite, a mix of aluminum and rust that burns at over 2,400°C, is known for its ability to melt through steel and concrete, and has been used to set treelines ablaze. Footage of these attacks has circulated widely on social media, showcasing the intense and destructive capability of this incendiary weapon. The Ukrainian military's use of these drones highlights the evolving tactics in the conflict, as both sides continue to utilize highly incendiary materials. This deployment comes amid heavy fighting and strategic advances by Russian forces towards the city of Pokrovsk. The use of such weapons, while not banned by international arms control organizations, underscores the brutal nature of the ongoing conflict.
