Can I? The article only mentions American regulations and laws regarding flamethrowers (and even admits that those laws may restrict the sale or use of these weapons platforms).
Makes no mention of European laws. Somehow I’m doubtful that weapons heavily controlled by geneva protocols, mounted to drones, are legal for civilian use here. I’m surprised they’re even okay over there!
(Outside of specialist equipment for trained and qualified civilian personnel, I’m sure someone somewhere still uses them as a defoliant for example, as unwise as that seems given all the wildfires these days…)

Those dang socialists never let us have nice things!
The Geneva Convention only applies to government/military bodies. It doesn’t regulate private individuals.
Others laws probably apply though regarding a fucking flamethrower.
