The video records the work of a drone operator from the No Chance assault drone unit, which belongs to the 108th Independent Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces.
A drone equipped with an incendiary mixture captured the edge of the woods and began burning it meter by meter to 'smoke out' the russian invaders.

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, a Ukrainian drone approached the forest where russian positions were located and attacked them with fire. The video was published on the Telegram channel CyberBoroshno.
"The 108th Territorial Defense Brigade is burning out the wooded area with an FPV drone to target russian occupiers. Location: north of the village of Ukrainske, Zaporizhzhia region," the message reads.
Analysts at CyberBoroshno sent greetings to russian Telegram channels that have already stolen the video of the Ukrainian flamethrower drone in action and claimed it as their own.
According to the video, a thermite warhead was used to strike the positions of russian troops. This thermite mixture can reach temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius during combustion.
It is not the first time that the Ukrainian Defense Forces have used thermite munitions against the russian occupying forces, but it is the first time they have done so in this manner, by gradually dropping it. The footage shows that the drone had enough incendiary mixture to ignite the entire area where, judging by the evidence, the enemy was hiding.
The current scale of using FPV drones with thermite is unknown, but it involves a relatively inexpensive and, judging by the results, effective means of combating enemy infantry—literally "smoking out" the adversary from their positions.
