    What exactly are we looking at here, is it a drone with a flamethrower, spitting fire into trenches?

      No idea. It’s thermite, obviously. I’ve heard that “Baba Yaga” have a payload of about 30lb? This is from memory, so don’t depend on that guess. I would love to see how they rig it up. It appears to destroy the drone after the payload is dropped.

      My feelings about the above video are nuanced. I’m glad to see Ukraine kicking asses by any means necessary, yet I hate the idea of this kind of attack becoming normal in others conflicts. If Russia can’t be stopped from sooner or later causing a world war, that is my kid’s life on the line.

      In a real sense I do feel Ukraine is defending me and my family, in the long run. So I watch this kind of footage every day with a melange of hope and horror. I never want my son facing this, and that makes me a bit of a hypocrite. So be it.
