This is the moment Ukraine blitzed Russian soldiers with a “flamethrower” drone to wipe them out of their positions.
Incredible footage shows a Ukrainian FPV drone raining down flesh-melting thermite on a tree line understood to be occupied by Russian troops. The drone can be seen flying low just above the treeline as it throws flames to burn and wipe pit enemy positions.
Large plumes of smoke can be seen billowing from the trees as the Ukrainian drone blitzed Russian troops with the flamethrower. Thermite, a mixture of metal powder and metal oxide, is used to make incendiary bombs.
It burns at temperatures of more than 2,400C, which is so hot that it can burn through steel and concrete. If it comes into contact with human flesh, it can melt right down to the bone.
While the use of thermite as a weapon can be hazardous, it is not banned by International arms control organisations to use against enemy positions in active warzones. However, the tactical weapon has been used widely by Russians against innocent Ukrainian civilians since the start of the war.
It comes as Ukrainian troops were seen storming Russian trenches while dodging heavy machine gun fire from the enemy lines. Daring soldiers from Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade sparked a brutal counteroffensive after they were deployed in a forest near Kharkiv.
The clip, shared by Ukrainian military bloggers, shows the troops launching the raid at dawn after they were dropped from a military chopper. Crack soldiers can be seen engaging in heated gunfights as they storm enemy positions camouflaged in the dense forest.
They raid enemy dugouts, storm through the Russian trenches and rescue wounded troops as they move towards the frontlines.
Russian troops on the other side try to thwart the Ukrainian advance using machine guns as they shower them with bullets, but daring Kyiv’s forces continue to move forward and cut off enemy lines. A brave Ukrainian soldier can be heard saying: “If I get into the trench line, I’ll kill that machine gunner with my bare hands.”
Russia has been desperately trying to regain the upper hand in Ukraine after Zelensky’s forces pushed through into enemy territory on August 6. This morning, Russian forces blitzed Kyiv with a barrage of missiles, injuring at least two people and damaging critical infrastructure.
According to Reuter reports Kyiv’s air defence units destroyed more than ten cruise missiles and nearly ten ballistic missiles as air raid alerts went off across the city. Heart-stopping video shows Ukrainian troops storming Russian trenches as they dodge machine gun fire.
Just days ago, Russia blitzed Ukraine with missiles and drones that killed several people and sparked mass power cuts. Sirens blared across Ukraine as Putin unleashed a wave of bombers to rain hell on Kyiv in a harsh response to the Kursk invasion.
President Zelensky Zelensky confirmed Russia horrifically used over 200 missiles and drones in the deadly strike, adding that “a lot of damage” was caused to the energy sector on Telegram.
A 14-year-old girl was among seven dead after barbaric Putin unleashed a wave of glide bombs on Ukraine. The dictator’s forces targeted a playground and an apartment building in Ukraine’s eastern city of Kharkiv today, injuring dozens more.
The State Emergency Service said 77 people were injured, including 18 children. Meanwhile, a separate Russian strike on a Ukrainian hotel killed an ex-brit soldier while leaving six others severely injured.
Rescuers discovered the body of Ryan Evans, who was a safety advisor for the Reuters news agency, in the rubble of a hotel in the eastern town of Kramatorsk. Evans, 38, was killed after a missile struck the Hotel Sapphire where he was staying as part of a six-person team on Saturday, Reuters said in a statement.
Two of his colleagues were also injured in the blast and were being treated in hospital. Meanwhile, Kyiv’s daring forces have been pushing into villages across the Russian border since August 6 amid the first-ever invasion on Russian soil since World War Two.
Russians have been scrambling to defend Ukraine’s audacious move, which sparked a “counter-terror” operation in regions of Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk.
Heart-stopping footage showed how brave Ukrainian troops have been gaining ground on Putin’s land.
