Presently, one of the current areas of research reportedly being undertaken in the scientific/military field is the development of micro air vehicles (MAVs)-the tiny flying objects intended to go places that cannot be (safely) reached by humans or other types of equipment. These are the next-next generations war needs.
No…no…no…it’s not merely a replica of a “mosquito” or another similar insect……. It’s an ‘insect spy drone’ which can be remotely controlled and equipped with a camera and a microphone. It can land on a person, and it may have the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on one’s skin.
It can fly through an open window, or it can attach to the clothing until one takes it into the home. Due to the advantages of small size, light weight, camouflage abilities, flexibility, low cost and portability: Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) have been a popular research topic for over years.
On these lines, the ‘Biomimetics’ is an innovative approach to technology that takes cues from natural systems. It holds that nature is the best model for creating anything new. Insects are good ‘Biomimetics’ object for the research and design of micro air vehicles. The study of the aerodynamics of insect flight is of great significance to the design of micro-flapping-wing vehicles.
Contextually, the dragon drones are the latest weapon being used in on-going wars between countries including Russia and Ukraine. These drones are known to emit a molten metal that burns at 2,427 degrees Celsius, meaning raining across fire and fire only.
Actually, these drones release “THERMITE”- a blend of Aluminium and Iron Oxide. When it is ignited (usually with the help of an electrical fuse), thermite triggers a self-sustaining reaction that is quite difficult to extinguish. It can burn through almost anything, from clothes to trees to military-grade vehicles, and can even burn underwater.
On humans, it causes severe, possibly fatal, burns and bone damage. As per an authentic report, the Ukrainian forces are using dangerous dragon drones to “ignite the vegetation that Russian troops use for cover and burn it out, exposing them and their equipment to direct attack.”
So, the Russians too began to produce and deploy their dragon drones. In modern conflict, thermite is most often used, in one or the other form, by espionage agents, or special operations teams due to its ability to burn intensely but without a bang.
