Thermobaric bombs can have yields similar to small nukes and leave no toxic fallout behind. The US employed them to deal with the cave dwelling terrorists in Afghanistan. Those devices flew into a cave, detonated the opening on the way into the cave, then released the thermobaric payload. Massive overpressure inside the sealed cave and total removal of oxygen. Very hard to hide from that.

The Russian versions are airbursts with significant blast and oxygen removal over a wide area. Sending it in on a drone is dirt cheap AND the bombs themselves are cheap to manufacture.

Russia could use savage superweapons that vaporize bodies and crush internal organs if their assault of Ukraine becomes bogged down, Western officials warned tonight. They fear Vladimir Putin could resort to high-power thermobaric weapons...

Retaliation for cluster bombs?


This is how escalation works..... what a mess this is and no matter how many times I see people say “oh, he won’t use nukes” you cannot help but be nervous.

My kids have no stake in the Ukraine and I am still trying to figure out how or why this is so vital to them that people are willing to have another cold war and threats of nuclear weapons usage.

Exactly. And still not one syllable of discussion about some peaceful solution. And not one word from the heretofore peaceniks about ending the war. Heck, they're okay with cluster bombs now. Rotten hypocrites.

Maybe before escalating by providing HIMARS, Storm Shadow, depleted uranium, cluster munitions, Leopard II’s etc. they should have thought about the possibility of Russia retaliating a little on its own.

Both sides are risking things here. There is no “right” side here.

--- "... a fair fight...."

What an interesting an odd phrase to insert into a war-related thread. What war was ever conducted as a "fair fight?"

Last thing you want is a “fair fight”.

There are already several videos of Ukraine dropping TB grenades from drones.
