Yes. The Russians have used them extensively in Chechnya. The town of Grozny was completely flattened by Thermo-Baric bombs.

Us in the Brit Army have already been briefed on them from intelligence reports from brit special forces units that were operating in Chechnya. I have already explained to some freepers about how Brit FIBUA SOPs are being changed to meet the threats from thermo-baric weapons. Believe it or not, there are ways of staying safe from a vicinity blast from a thermo-baric bomb, so, they aren't the invincible weapons that people may think.
