A new type of drone weapon is starting to make its presence known on the front lines in Ukraine - ammunition well suited to the unique capabilities of small drones.
Forbes writes that the military has begun to use thermite, which is capable of burning through metal .
Burning thermite is usually a mixture of iron oxide and aluminum. It burns because the oxygen in the rust is more attracted to the aluminum than to the iron, so it does not need oxygen from outside and will burn underwater. Reaching temperatures of about 4,000F, the thermite reaction tends to melt anything it touches.
Unlike other types of weapons, thermite must be very close to the target. That's why the US Army's AN-M14 thermite grenades are classified as demolition weapons rather than weapons, and are used to "damage, disable, or destroy vehicles, weapons systems, shelters, or munitions." A small drone is ideal for delivering these grenades to a target.
The combination of drones and thermite is a powerful one, as the precise delivery of the drone can direct thermite to exactly where it will have the greatest effect. And even a small amount of green stuff can cause a big fire.
Thermite is not as effective against armor as shaped charge warheads, not as useful for antipersonnel use as fragmentation warheads, and does not have the explosive power of thermobaric designs. But it is very useful for precision attacks against flammable targets.
As Ukraine ramps up drone attacks on Russian oil and gas storage facilities and power substations, thermite is likely to be used more frequently. The metal cages the Russians have begun installing around infrastructure are unlikely to stop the Ukrainians.
There are many drone manufacturers in Ukraine who send them to the front lines to their military. These drones cost about $400-500 and are capable of destroying expensive Russian equipment. Ukraine's Minister for Strategic Industries Oleksandr Kamyshin predicted a record year for ground drones . According to him, Ukraine wants to protect Ukrainian soldiers in this way.
"You'll see more of them on the front lines. That's one of the changes we expect to see in the next 12 months," he said. In addition, Forbes reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using an experimental American autopilot with artificial intelligence in FPV drones. The autopilot has a higher hit rate than human pilots.
