or indirectly produced the following URLs. You can spend hours enjoying
such searches; almost as much fun as flying unidentified objects

During the recent gulf war, fuel/air bombs were touted as
being second only to nuclear weapons in their devastating effects. These
are basically similar to the above devices, except that an explosive charge
is used to rupture the fuel container and disperse it over a wide area.
a second charge is used to detonate the fuel. The reaction is said to produce
a massive shockwave and to burn all the oxygen in a large area, causing
suffocation.

This is comparable to the Daisy Cutter fuel-air bomb of Vietnam

tidbit on fuel air
explosives
late 1976
The PRC agrees to the 4/75 DPRK proposal for the joint development
of the DF-61 single-stage mobile tactical missile, which might carry a
cluster munitions or fuel-air explosive warhead. The maximum range of the
missile is estimated at 600km with a 1,000 kg payload, with guidance to
be supplied by a new PRC-developed gyro.[26]
