Wow, that's impressive accuracy from the drone operator. This war really has shown that drones will be part of modern warfare going forward.

First time I've heard of Ukraine using or even having thermobarics.

disclaimer: I don't know shit about fuck all
I think small munitions like this are pretty ancient. Something like a bag of flower burst into a room then ignited would have the same effect as other thermobaric weapons - it's a dispersal of fuel into an oxygen rich environment.

They are very useful in confined spaces like buildings and foxholes
