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.

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.

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

Thermobaric bombs. Nothing so new in this. Read the history as listed in a Wiki: "Thermobaric weapon"

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon

We got 'em. Used in Viet Nam, as in Afghanistan. Yup. They got 'em. Russia, China. All whole bunch more. Yup. All God's chillun got 'em.

Even "Ukroboronprom's Scientific Research Institute for Chemical Products" in 2017 got 'em.

And, as the end of the Wiki observes: "all past attempts to regulate or restrict thermobaric weapons have failed." Boom.

I read the article but I don’t see any evidence to backup this claim this tabloid is reporting.

A thermobaric weapon is a glorified Molotov Cocktail - a tank of fuel and something to ignite it. Very low tech but nasty I suppose.

A component of the information campaign leading up to the Vilnius summit.

This technology may be a solution that nullifies the advantage of entrenched manpower.

NATO is so outdated and impotent. Using Ukraine to threaten Russia is the dumbest thing Biden has ever done.

He’s cost the US untold billions and is responsible for 250 thousand Ukrainian deaths.

Shame.....
