  • B.They are surveillance drones developed for monitoring nuclear facilities.
  • C.They are combat drones capable of dispensing molten thermite, an incendiary mixture of aluminium and iron oxide, onto enemy targets.
  • D.They are lightweight drones used for aerial cinematography, including filming of social ceremonies.

Answer: C

'Dragon drones' are combat drones capable of dispensing molten thermite onto enemy targets.

The name comes from footage in the Russia-Ukraine war, where drones released a shower of burning thermite, an incendiary mix of aluminium powder and iron oxide that burns at well over 2,000 °C, over trees and positions. The falling stream of molten metal looks like a dragon breathing fire.

They are weapons, not cargo, surveillance or filming drones, which rules out the other three descriptions.
