Russia continues to arm itself: “Dragon” flamethrower is said to cause devastating damage. “It can turn several city blocks into smoldering rubble with a single shot,” expert says.
A thermobaric weapon - also called a vacuum bomb or aerosol bomb - is a weapon that works in two steps: First, an explosion distributes fuel in the air - such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or decane. The resulting cloud of droplets is then ignited. ignition of the cloud is followed by a pressure wave with a diameter of up to 50 meters. The pressure wave lasts much longer than with conventional explosives, and heat generated is much greater.
