Blinda and armor no longer save Russians: for the Drones of the Armed Forces created unusual bombs (video)

New type ammunition is inflamed immediately after they are dumped. The most powerful of them burns a steel plate 8 mm thick. The Ukrainian company Steel Hornets (steel hornets) produces inflammatory ammunition designed to discharge from unmanned aerial vehicles. This is stated on the company's official website. It is reported that ammunition can be used to arson the armor, ammunition and Russian troops.

In the event of a horizontal part of easily armored equipment, they can burn it and provoke ignition. The combustion temperature is up to 2500 ° C. In the video test of the drone, you can see that the molten metal flows from the plate, which quickly poured a hole in a steel plate 8 mm thick. The manufacturer emphasizes that the ammunition works more reliably when dropping from small heights.

In total, seven positions are presented on the site, which differ in total weight, weight of the inflammatory mixture, dimensions and time of through steel. Depending on the specifications, their cost is from 400 to 1000 UAH per piece. The developers have also announced 500 gram ammunition for Mavic drones, the price of which has not yet been specified.

The Ukrainian development was commented on the social network X (Twitter) by the Canadian expert Danielr, pointing to their interesting feature - the ammunition begins to burn immediately after they are dumped from the drone. They can be attached to large drones such as Baba Yaga or FPV-Divic-Kamikadze, and the smallest of them can be transferred with compact drones.

The expert also noted that it is still unknown whether these ammunition will be effective to defeat such goals as oil and vehicles protected by antitrone cells and nets. We will remind, the Armed Forces are also dumped from the UAV of mines, equipped with a "smart" module of initiation, which is activated 10 minutes after discharge and triggered in the event of moving or approaching metal.
