The STEALTH-bombs and dangers of FAE-weapons

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The STEALTH-technology in the bombs is an interesting thing. The bombs, what is equipped with the paper core are very hard to track, and the destruction circle around them is very sharp. And those bombs would totally vanish in the explosion, what makes them useful in special operations. If those bombs are filled with high power explosives like RDX (Cyclonite) they would be very lethal, and because the kill-radius is very well known, those bombs can be used against the enemy in the situations, where the battle is going on in the city areas and another kind of places.

Those paper or cellulose-core bombs can be equipped with the core, which makes them air-tight, and then they can be filled with hydrocarbon gas like methane. Even the small-size thermobaric explosives can be devastating, and this is why they are developed in many countries. And this is the problem with those weapons because they are one of the most brutal weapon systems in the world. The problem of those highly sophisticated weapons is that they can leak, and that's why they have no effect if they are empty.

There are created weapons, which are effective against thermobaric ammunition, and one is the microwaves. Even the low-power microwaves can cause that the core of those weapons would be warmed, and in this case, even the broken microwave oven can cause an extremely powerful explosion. And in fact, the microwave oven can be modified as the weapon very easily.

The glass and the metal net on the door must only be removed, and that would cause a very dangerous effect. And if the bad persons would target those microwaves to the communication antennas or gas storages, would the destruction be terrifying. Those weapons might heat the core of this kind of system, and cause the explosion of the fuel tanks, what the thermobaric weapons basically are. If that ammunition is stored wrong way and the hydrocarbon would leak, the small glimmer would detonate entire ammo-storage.
