US military has thermite grenades. The U.S. military also uses thermite grenades, but instead of using it as a weapon, they use it as a demolition tool.

Thermite grenades can melt through artillery or vehicle components, rendering them inoperable. The Ukrainian Military Center reports that thermite is capable of burning through the armor of vehicles.

The US military has also used thermite in grenades, with the US Army’s Pine Bluff Arsenal producing the weapons from the 1960s through 2014 and then resuming production again in 2023.

The United States military also produces thermite grenades, but though Washington is a principal supplier of weapons to Ukraine, it is unclear if the US supplies thermite-grade weapons to Kyiv.

The Ukrainian military has started deploying drones retrofitted with thermite payloads, effectively transforming its lethal fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) into potent "flamethrower" weapons.
