Ukraine's use of drone warfare has kept Putin's troops at bay since the conflict started almost three years ago.
They have repeatedly used impressive aerial tactics to strike key Russian infrastructure and to take out incoming fighters with ease.
One of the most advanced drones being used is the dragon drone which spews flesh-melting thermite onto Russian bunkers.
Terrifying footage has shown the drone beginning to spew the thermite across a trench and into the entrance of a snowy Russian bunker.
Anyone caught underneath the iron oxide and aluminium combination would be burned to death.
After shooting the lethal mixture for around 20 seconds the drone catches fire itself and flies inside the bunker hoping to take Russian soldiers with it.
Kyiv has been deploying the menacing weapon over tree lines and forests - attacking Russia with scorching hot molten.
Earlier this month footage also showed Ukrainian drones equipped with machine guns being used for the first time to ambush Russian troops.
