      Not with thermite, it spreads flammable liquid everywhere. Look for “dragon” drone videos if you want. Zombies are unlikely to try to to jump over the burning fluid and if anything probably will spread it further and on themselves so eventually will burn. It’s probably one of thepre effective remote ways to deal with them in modern warfare. Especially since drones are bloody loud so zombies are more likely to chase the drones instead of operators who can be entirely hidden.

        Imma get real pedantic here - “thermite” is just a composition, like C4, TNT, or PETN. Those drones show just one of many specific delivery methods, spraying or dropping pre-ignited thermite as they moves To say that “[thermite] sprays flammable liquid everywhere” isn’t correct, but burning thermite can be spread like those drones do.

          Ah thank you for the clarification, I assumed it would be more flamethrower based based on the videos I seen, but never looked at it.
