Popular Mechanics: Will Russia Really Make Drones Armed With Flamethrowers?

The director of Russian arms-makers Rostec saying the company is now working on cheap, flamethrower-armed multicopters. That can dodge bullets.
Alexander Yakunin told Russian newspaper TASS that the project is in the works. Judging from the technology his company has already developed—and taking a more nuanced approach to translation—we'd say the flamethrower drone is more plausible than it sounds.
