Finally!

“Charmingly called the “Thermonator”, the dog resembles the four-legged bots that are already being used by [security forces.].

But there is one major difference: This deranged hound can shoot flames at a range of up to 30 feet.

The firepower comes courtesy of the rechargeable flamethrower mounted on its back.


The robot is the brainchild of a firm aptly called ThrowFlame, which claims to be the oldest flamethrower manufacturer in the US.

In 2019, the company released a flamethrower attachment for drones for “remote ignition of both aerial and ground targets”. The add-on, which can apparently fire for up to 100 seconds, costs $1,499 (£1,180), while the ARC-19 compact flamethrower that comes with the new droid costs between $699-$899 (£550-£707).”
