Russian engineers have developed a novel “flamethrower drone” capable of incinerating nearby targets with a stream of fire. This unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is equipped with a small tank of flammable liquid, enabling it to unleash a downward burst of flame with a range of up to three meters (10 feet). Although its adoption by the Russian military is currently unclear, its potential deployment could reportedly provide a short-range countermeasure against hostile drones.
