It's a completely obvious thermite attack and don't even try playing dumb as they did. Russian illumination flares use parachutes just like in the West, obviously glare very brightly, aren't dropped in hundreds. If it's counterameasures flares they're launched sideways in batches of a few and don't freefall in one direction, against just like in the West. That's not how it works at all.
They're 9M22S submunitions, which have a magnesium casing. They've been using them all over the place, including places they don't make sense. Like at the Mariupol steel plant. If there's anything that can handle being shot with burning metal, it's a steel plant.
Thermite burns orangeish-red, magnesium burns white. Those are magnesium flares.

It's obviously not thermite because thermite glows red.

Eagerly awaiting your another retarded reply.
So you are moving the goal post now? You said thermite and now you say incendiary munitions. It's still magnesium and not thermite.
Here you have some more:

You are arguing against a point I have not stated.
Twitter links cannot change chemistry.
