The killing effect of thermobaric weapons

Thermobaric bombs used in open space and closed space kill effect is very different. Explosives in open space explosion kill effect, according to the action distance from near to far, in order of heat kill, shock wave kill and fragmentation kill. temperature and pressure bomb and the early emergence of fuel-air bomb in the principle of operation, killing mechanism has many similarities, the two belong to the same gas-explosive weapons, but each has its own characteristics. Fuel air bomb is equipped with a large amount of fuel and a small amount of traditional high explosives, detonation of high explosives first explosion, so that the fuel spread to the surrounding air, and mixed with the air to form an aerosol cloud, which can produce a huge high-temperature fireball. Because the aerosol cloud is easy to penetrate into the cave, underground fortifications and the interior of the building, so the fuel air bomb can be closed space personnel and equipment caused by killing and destroying, but the effect is difficult to compare with the temperature and pressure bomb.
