WASHINGTON—Claiming the fantastical creatures were “way too cool” to leave their investigation to a handful of so-called experts, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. issued a statement Friday encouraging Americans to do their own research about dragons. “People, especially new parents looking for awesome bedtime stories, need to be reading everything they […]
Hmm. No, I don’t.

Hmm. I mean, it’s orange, right? So figure black-body radiation determines the color.

So maybe something like 2000°F, 1100°C?
But I’m more thinking that a tank probably has a lot of thermal mass, and I figure that the dragon probably isn’t keeping sustained fire on the thing for all that long. I mean, I’ve no doubt that dragon fire would be horrific in an anti-personnel role, but against heavy armor? It’s gonna take a lot of energy to heat that up.
EDIT: I feel like a “how would the 1st Armored Division do against Smaug” would be a good !NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works question.
NCD would tell you that question has already been answered by an anime called GATE.
Does the dragon fire deplete the tank of oxygen?
That could cause engine issues and crew issues, depending on duration.
I am sorry… but you do know all Fire Dragons are classified under Magma Breathers right? Do you honestly think dragons shit on their entire food chain, topple kingdoms and hoard rich people stuff, gems, jewels, rubies, the swords of kings… just to emphasize how little they give af… by blowing hot air?
Yes Fire Dragons can easily blow hot air the way a roaring fire can easily blow hot air up into the sky, but if you think that is all Fire Dragons can do you need to educate yourself.
No, they create a quantum tunnel to the heart of a nearby magma chamber and then dispense it directly onto the face of whatever they want to melt, I feel silly even having to explain this honestly.
Prove me wrong and drive a tank through this I dare you
