There are 4th and 5th degree burns? I thought the scale stopped at 3rd degree. Thermite burns at 4000. These thermite drone weapons sound horrible. Humans are getting steadily nastier to each other. “Under international law, thermite is not banned for military combat, but its use on civilian targets is prohibited because of the horrible effects it can have on the human body. In a 2022 report on incendiary weapons, such as thermite, Human Rights Watch called them “notorious for their horrific human cost,” including inflicting fourth- or fifth-degree burns.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/07/europe/ukraine-thermite-dragon-drones-intl-hnk-ml/index.html

Idk if this is more or less nasty than people mustard gassing each other during WW1. Autonomous drone war is inevitable. the most optimistic outcome is they get good enough to make infantry obsolete > bot swarms fight each other and the losing side concedes

you don't know what's going on here, or rather how it's really going on, there's a lot they don't tell you on the news and believe me, fire dragons are much less horrible than what the Russian soldiers are using

Thermite burns? That’s next-level horrific. Who knew humanity could invent new ways to make things worse? Just when you thought things couldn’t get any more intense…
