The Thermonator also boasts an hour of battery life, a 30 ft (9.1 meter) flame-throwing range, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, remote operation via smartphone from a first-person perspective, Lidar obstacle avoidance, and even laser sighting.

This 37 lbs (16.8 kg) Black Mirrorian horror is "ready for anything," says Throwflame, including wildfire control and prevention, agricultural management, ecological conservation, snow and ice removal, and lighting the barbecue.

That's right, you don't even have to be a clandestine government agency. The Thermonator is also available to the general public for $9,420, with free US shipping.

Throwflame has the "strapping flamethrowers to robots" market cornered. In 2019, it introduced the TF-19 WASP drone attachment, which required a UAV capable of lifting a 5 lb (2.3 kg) load to rain fire from the sky, but this is the company's first foray into ground-based remote immolation.
