Yes. But it didn't work for long. The Russians have an answer to that.[1]

- araes 11mo agoProbably need to move over to fire resistant cloth mesh relatively soon if the thermite drones become a common battlefield sight.
- _carbyau_ 11mo agoThermite temperatures are over 2000 degrees celsius. It is literally burning iron and aluminium. Material science can do amazing things but a capable "fire resistant cloth mesh", cheap enough to use in the quantities required, will be a good trick.
- araes 11mo agoIt does not need to survive the direct impact of the thermite, it just needs to self extinguish and not light large areas of the mesh on fire. A couple foot size holes don't matter much in miles of mesh.
