What are thermobaric weapons and how do they work? Also known as aerosol bombs or fuel-air bombs, vacuum bombs are thermobaric weapons. The name is derived from the Greek for heat and pressure.
Whereas most conventional weapons use a mixture of fuel and an oxidizing agent to cause an explosion, these bombs consist almost 100% of fuel and rely on oxygen in the air to explode. After the first explosion, the fuel is finely dispersed in the atmosphere like a cloud and then it is ignited, causing a massive blast.
After the detonation and the shock wave, there is a vacuum effect, when all oxygen is extracted from the air as the bomb does not have its own oxidizing agent.
