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.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

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.

Publisher’s rating: ENGANOSO

The review says the video was recorded at a September 15, 2022, event in Montes Claros and was later taken out of context. It identifies the person holding the phone as a man, who said a member of Lula’s team took the phone to take photos and returned it; the review says no crime occurred.
