If you don't make these weapons, rest assured, your enemy will. I know nothing about these, perhaps, these 'vacuum' bombs have been around for decades.

Sounds like fuel/air explosives.

Chips are crisps.
Diapers are nappies.
Cigarettes are fags.
Baby buggies are prams.
Trucks are lorries.
Girls are birds.
Fries are chips.
Fuel Air bombs are Vacuum bombs.

Those crazy Brits!

The North Vietnamese complained about the use of FAEs on SAM sites.

A few years back, British "peace" groups complained about a new small thermobaric rocket or charge used to take out doors and rooms in urban conditions.

The reasoning?

It would most likely be used to take out islamics that practiced that kind of urban warfare hiding in rooms waiting to ambush troops.

My idea of a "vacuum bomb" would be dropping old TV picture tubes, which would implode when they hit and send shards of glass everywhere.

Since the fifties at least. Called Fuel/AIr Explosive (FAE).

It’s the “Clinton” bomb! It sucks all of the oxygen from the room, then blows up in your face!

The Russian use the TOSS-1A thermobaric system, but that’s OK for them, but not for anyone else?
