Look at 0:45 and you can see the ground "bounce" from the shockwave. The 2500 pound Pave Pat FAE bombs used in Vietnam were as powerful as the much-publicized Daisy Cutter bombs but weighed six times less, & could be dropped from single seat planes like the A-1 . Problem was, the second event detonator was sometimes destroyed in the initial burst , and the cloud just dispersed. The later FAE 2 bombs ejected their detonators on wires behind the bomb , and they then fell into cloud & ignited it.

Wish this show (Future Weapons) had a different host. The host is just such a complete tool.. The show is just 20% him posing and looking butch and throwing out completely hilarious one liners. Not clever one liners, just unbelievably stupid.

Good show, new host, please.

the russians where the first to use them, afganistan. drop it in the mouth of a cave and it works well. but as he says, cant use it if theres not enough air so deep in a cave or in some buildings it might just burn.

The weapon that will lead to Fuel Air Bombs is the Flamethrower, invented by Germans in WW1
