As drones are widely used in the war in Ukraine, and both sides are entrenched more and more in the trenches every day, a new idea is emerging that may interest Ukrainians. Throwflame, an American company, introduced a new product in its range - Thermonator. This name actually hides a flamethrower drone.
The Thermonator is a product that represents a breakthrough in robotic technology combined with practical applications. With one hour of battery life and the ability to throw flames up to approximately 9 feet, the Thermonator can be controlled remotely via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it extremely flexible and easy to use in a variety of environments.
This peacetime robot can be used for many tasks, such as fighting and preventing forest fires, agricultural management, environmental protection, snow and ice removal, as well as creating special effects in entertainment programs. However, its use today is more suited to armed conflict scenarios.
Its design combines advanced technologies such as lidar mapping, FPV (first-person view) navigation, instant flamethrower ignition and a laser sighting system. These features not only increase its accuracy and efficiency, but also ensure safe operation even in difficult conditions.
So, Thermonator is much more than just a gadget; it is a powerful companion designed to offer operational flexibility and increase durability with its versatile mounting system. The company also specified that its walking flamethrower can generate flames for 45 minutes without stopping, which is more than enough for short but intense missions.
Throwflame is making a major impact with their new product, which is already creating buzz on social media and the internet in general. Without a doubt, many will be interested in this new item in the UGV range. Although Throwflame hasn't specifically talked about combat capabilities, many people are already envisioning its military uses. It remains to be seen if Throwflame will take this step.
