Just once I wish a “journalist” understood science and military weapons.

“The explosion from these high-powered weapons triggers a wave of heat 1000°C which burns all of the oxygen nearby, leaving victims unable to breathe”

Burns oxygen, eh?

SMH

Sounds like our Fuel-Air Explosive (FAE), which was condemned as a ‘suffocation’ bomb for taking all the oxygen.

And I suspect the accusation is false for their bomb as well.

Oxygen oxidizes which is what burning is... It is just as correct to say that the oxygen burns as it is to say that the fuel burns...

Actually the TOS-1A Burantinos fire 220mm thermobaric weapons. These are fuel air rockets similar to our daisy cutter bombs, just smaller.

In about 10 seconds, it can turn 40 acres into smoking gravel. Very interesting and scary weapon. Look up its info and videos.

I wonder if they are gonna surround Raqqa with them?
