The helicopters were flying too low to be hit by the Stingers, but they would make perfect targets for the RPGs, which were loaded with a new type of explosive called the thermobaric grenade. ❋ Mark Alpert (2011)
One other terror weapon likely also is used called a thermobaric bomb which is a modification of still another prohibited weapon called fuel air explosives (FAE) that in their original form are enormously powerful and destroy and incinerate structures and people. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Again, it goes into a cave, it -- fine particles are ex -- are put into the area, and then it's called a thermobaric blast in which pressure builds up over time, and then is ignited in a delayed fashion. ❋ Unknown (2001)
The Hellfire can also carry a "thermobaric" warhead, which generates a lethal pressure wave against fighters in caves. ❋ Unknown (2010)
If the blast doesn't incinerate people, its second phase employs a technology based on the "thermobaric" principle which uses heat and pressure to kill people targeted across a wide field - by sucking the air out of their lungs and rupturing internal organs. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Then there are the new versions of 25mm round, like fuel-air explosive (or "thermobaric"). ❋ Unknown (2009)
One of the new options with a larger shell is a fuel-air explosive (or "thermobaric") version for the XM-25. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Can you get a thermobaric weapon to work in such a compact space? ❋ Unknown (2010)
I think you meant “fuel-air weapon” (some of which are also thermobaric; it is also possible also to have a thermobaric weapon that is not a fuel-air weapon, as the distinguishing feature of thermobaric weapons is the blast profile and not so much the explosive involved). ❋ Unknown (2010)
The RPG-29s are cheap (especially when compared to a MBT) and with the ability to fire either a thermobaric or HEAT warhead, they are probably quite popular. danceswithgoats Says: ❋ Unknown (2009)
In fact the only possible competitor to high explosives would be fuel-air explosives, but getting a high quality thermobaric device to work is more complex. ❋ Unknown (2010)
If you want to look at a far more likely candidate for killing thousands of people in a terrorist attack, consider the possibility of thermobaric weapons as terrorist tools .... ❋ Unknown (2010)
Matt: Can you get a thermobaric weapon to work in such a compact space? ❋ Unknown (2010)
Will Greece be consumed first by thermobaric explosions as the recession worsens? ❋ Unknown (2010)
Later on it will plasma weapons and heavy (thermobaric) demolition charges, perhaps even nuclear weapons that 'only Tech. Com' can make as the technology becomes available by raiding Skynet stores like every good guerilla force does. ❋ Unknown (2008)
