- Dragon drones essentially release a substance called thermite - a mixture of aluminium and iron oxide.

- During World War I, German zeppelins dropped thermite-laden bombs.
- The Allies dropped some 30 million 4-pound thermite bombs on Germany and another 10 million on Japan during World War II.
- The use of thermite in war is not prohibited under international law.
