Professor Michael Clarke assesses Ukraine's dragon drones | Ukraine war

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has released footage of what they say are their new dragon drones in action. The drones appear to drop liquid fire from the sky.

Sky's Military Analyst Professor Michael Clarke explains how these dragon drones work and why they're so terrifying to come up against.

The drone should also play "Ride of the Valkyries" while it's attacking.

A FYI. Thermite grenades were used during the D-Day landings by the British Airborne forces, they had to climb up to the German field guns firing on the Allied ships and drop thermite grenades down the barrels of the guns firing onto the landing troops there by melting the breaches and making the large guns inoperable!!!

The rate of PTSD will be awfull after the war. Your brain cannot ease, every minute of the day a drone can attack. Its horrible.

This type of drone would be useful in setting back fires as a means of fighting a wildfire.
PS — tree lines will never be seen as a refuge.

What did sky "news" do to deserve a great man like Professor Clarke? He deserves his own show.

There's already a video of a thermite drone that was flown into a dugout, burning everything inside

Thermite use in warfare is already regulated as an incendiary, just like other incendiary weapons. These regulations do not ban all use internationally but instead put usage restrictions which allow use against military targets but not civilian targets and not woods that are unoccupied by an adversary military. Russia regularly violates these rules. Ukraine complies with the rules voluntarily.

''That liquid fire is called termite'' well done, prof.

I feel immensely sorry for all the animals that have lost their lives in this war. It’s tragic enough that people have to perish, but the animals are another thing. Man is destroying this planet slowly but surely.

"I love the smell of dragon drone in the morning."

Does anyone think banning them will stop them being used🤔🤔

[michaelsummerell]

As soon as he described what it is and what it does I immediately thought "isn't that banned? If it isn't, it probably soon will be."

[olgatomenko]

It's not Ukraine war, but russian war in Ukraine

[FlyWithMe_]

3:09 “It will be banned” … by whom?? This is not how it works. International conventions already cover incendiary weapons, and restrict their use in certain cases (civilian population at risk). Does he think there’ll be some court that tells Russia, Ukraine not to use these specific drones? This is not how laws of warfare work at all.

[djwoodgate]

Maybe they got the idea from watching Colin Furze firing his home made thermite launcher

[druwk]

Can’t imagine what it’s like to be a human being on the modern battlefield? Can totally see a day in the near future where wars are fought by autonomous drones, robots and vehicles. Scary 😨

[SunethJayarathne]

Did Ukraine consult "Heisenberg" from Breaking Bad about Thermite? 🤔

[Fesjose]

Sky should protect this man at all cost.

Professor Clarke's analysis are always appreciated.

Long ago, heard about thermite in a grenade version from Viet Nam War vets. It completely destroyed file cabinets filled with sensitive documents. Also, it literally burn through an engine block.
