New ‘dragon drone’ destroys Russian tank with molten thermite 

A very good insightful episode today.

Slava ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

Thermite is an almost dead simple exothermic reaction reaching temp about 2500°C/4500°F, burns through almost anything. Further more since the compound provides its oxidizer it can't be extinguished in the battle field....just molten metal, dropped on a tank turret it will melt armor top to through bottom of hull, igniting munitions and combustibles along the way. Scalable and cheap

1200 casualties per day is almost 1 a minute.

Ha! I'm first here! Love this pod. So sad about David Knowles. RIP.

Francis and Dom, I deeply appreciate the privilege of following the funeral service yesterday; your participation in it was really moving; with my PC and a candle lit for David on my kitchen table, I very much felt I was part of a most honorable crowd, honoring your dear friend and colleague; no dry eyes here 😪 However, our loss of David, and David's loss of his physical life, may have led him to a new level of service in the world of spirit. As I wrote in my condolences right after his passing, I have a strong feeling and conviction that the fallen Ukrainian Heros, in the tens of thousands, have welcomed him to their side; with a bird's-eye view, they will be sending vibes of Love to those who are left to fight in the trenches and beyond, including his team at the Telegraph 🌻🌠🌻 (from Norway)

Russian is capturing towns while ukraine still winning in western medai.

Thanks gents

your anger is righteous and your frustration oh so familiar

judging by the headline... that's it, game over for Russia ? 🤣

I’m going to have to re-listen to that amazing Lady.

Dom is correct when he said talking about long-range.Missiles inside russia issue was a waste of time for the last year , but he did talk about it for the last year.

Agree with the sentiments as to lacklustre support of Ukraine from the West. I know a number of lovely Ukrainian refugees and I’m somewhat embarrassed at how reticent we are to support Ukraine more.

Oligarchs are far more entrenched wordwide now then they were after ww2...

Do our (US) politicians and bureaucrats understand how absurd and dishonest they sound ?

Dragon Drone reminds me of the movie, Reign of Fire, in which an actual dragon takes out a tank in largely this same manner.

Wasn't the Russian orthodox church in Ukraine outlawed?

Ukraine’s losses since the beginning of the incursion into the Kursk Region have reached 20,200 troops, the Russian Defense Ministry has said. "In all, during the fighting in the Kursk Region, the enemy lost up to 20,200 troops, 135 tanks, 66 infantry fighting vehicles, 98 armored personnel carriers, 870 armored combat vehicles," the Defense Ministry said. According to the Defense Ministry, since the beginning of hostilities in the Kursk Region, the Russian Armed Forces have also destroyed 580 Ukrainian motor vehicles, 165 artillery pieces, 33 multiple rocket launchers, including eight HIMARS and six US-made MLRS, nine launchers of anti-aircraft missile systems, five transport and loading vehicles, 43 radio-electronic warfare stations, nine counter-battery radars, three air defense radars, 20 pieces of engineering and other equipment, including 12 engineering demolition vehicles, a UR-77 demining unit, and two armored repair vehicles. Over the past day, the Ukrainian army lost more than 350 soldiers in the Kursk Region, the ministry added. The Russian military also wiped out six armored fighting vehicles, three artillery pieces, including a French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzer, a US-made M777 howitzer, three motor vehicles, three electronic warfare stations and an engineering demolition vehicle. "The operation to wipe out the Ukrainian incursion is continuing," the Defense Ministry stressed.

In praise of chemical weapons. I believe Russia has already responded in kind.

As an American, We should help Ukraine. My concern is Europe . America is contributing , not only arms and money, but also maintaining a strong military paid for by Americans. For example ,How many tanks does the United Kingdom have ? How many troops ?, How many bombers ? Europe is enjoying spending money on social programs at the expense of their military. Europe is forgetting history , Ukraine is reminding us about their history.

Russia seems to be doing quite badly😊

Clearly there talking abour Ukrainian causalties.

It's odd to listen to Francis.Explain the frustration of listening to a statement from america that is contradictory to what's happening on the battlefield. It's the. Same complaint i've had of this blog since I started listening to it a year ago.

The Ukrainians once claimed 1200 km^2 of Kursk was under their control. Now its down to 800 km^2 ... so a third gone. Not spectacular but not insignificant either.

What would Jesus say about the war in Gaza?

Breaking News 😂 Tank was destroyed !

What other kind of thermite is there?😂
