Ukrainians develop drone that drops Molotov cocktails Beer Bottles
2022-03-11
From The Reuters files, as reported by the NTP:
[NYPost] "Hold my beer!

Ukraine's army developed a drone to drop Molotov cocktails on its enemies, and one of the beer bottle-turned-weapons was unleashed Thursday.

The small flying drone was developed by the Ukrainian Territorial Defence Forces and appears to have four blades. Its center console has a spot to hold the Molotov cocktail horizontally before it is remotely deployed.

Photos on Thursday captured the drone dropping a bottle of Chernihivske beer in Kyiv."

Intriguing, but no sign of an igniter. Would probably be a great summertime delivery system, however, after I qualify The Mrs. as Loadmaster, Bombardier and Pilot.

#3  Those of us who don’t know don’t need to know, I agree. Thank you for that, Mullah Richard.

There are methods that allow for the ignition of liquids upon impact without a separate igniter.

We'll not discuss those here, however.

Sounds like the kind of thing the NY Post would call an invention.
