Videos circulate on Telegram and X this week from Ukrainian units showing their new weapon.

Videos each show a drone moving deliberately along a trench line as it releases a continuous stream of incendiary material.

The devices are said to feature thermite, a mixture of metal powder (usually aluminum) and metal oxide (in this case, said to be iron).
