A new video published by CNN appears to show Ukrainians destroying a weapon Russian military has been to inflict massive casualties on the front lines.
This thermobaric weapon, banned by the Geneva Convention, can rip the oxygen out of people’s lungs when detonated.
Thermobaric munitions by design, produce more heat and overpressure than conventional explosives by exploding a vapour in the blast zone.
Their main use initially was in airborne fuel-air  explosive bombs. Â
Whilst the United States has concentrated on airborne weapons, Russia has produced thennobaric weapons and warheads, from airborne bombs to rifle grenades.
The fuel-air explosive is one of the best-known types of thermobaric weapons.
