A thermobaric bomb, also known as a fuel-air explosive, is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion. It typically consists of a fuel container and two separate explosive charges. Upon detonation, the first charge disperses the fuel as a cloud, and the second charge ignites the cloud, creating a massive explosion and a vacuum. These bombs are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons. They are extremely destructive and controversial.
