The claim
Vídeo demonstra o funcionamento de um drone utilizado em ações de queima controlada. O dispositivo ejeta pequenas esferas que se incendeiam ao cair no solo. Um homem, que não aparece no vídeo original, narra que o equipamento teria sido utilizado para incendiar florestas no Brasil e em outros países.
Original review summary
The review identifies the device as the Ignis drone, used for controlled burning to help prevent wildfires, and says the altered video’s claims about its use to start fires were untrue. It also reports that the federal government had not bought the device and that the company and government denied Brazilian government use.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the drone disperses spheres containing potassium permanganate and describes controlled burns as a way to reduce fuel that could feed a wildfire. [S1]
