Oleksandr Dmitriiev, an advisor to the Commander of Ukraine's Ground Forces, has announced that Ukrainian inventors have developed a drone capable of burning Russian positions

He stated this on Espreso TV.

“Even for a trained soldier, fire can be particularly terrifying when it takes over a position and ignites ammunition. Russian invaders probably don't have fire extinguishers or similar gear with them. The Dragon drone is designed to smoke out or destroy enemy positions by using a special substance - though we won't disclose what it is. Ukrainian inventors have integrated this capability into the drone itself. Some call it Drakaris, others call it Dragon. This UAV is capable of burning out enemy positions completely, no matter what they are,” said Dmitriiev.

He mentioned that the large amount of waste left by Russian troops near their positions makes the fire more destructive.

On June 3, it was reported that Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen used FPV drones to strike a Russian convoy in the Kursk region.
