When Russia’s military deployed its TOS-1A ‘vacuum bomb’ that sucks the oxygen out of the air, analysts said Ukraine’s best defense was to destroy the weapons before Russian troops could use them. Human rights advocates are pushing to restrict the TOS-1A, as some experts are arguing it could harm civilians in urban areas. So what makes the TOS-1A so deadly and controversial?
WSJ explains why this thermobaric weapon is so feared and how Kyiv has dealt with them.

Thermobaric munitions go all the way back to WW2 where the German Army used a six-barrelled 15cm Nebelwerfer rocket launcher (15 cm NbW 41). The weapon looks more like a large 6-barrel gun. It looks like 6 mortar tubes attached to a tow-behind and is very simple in design. They would shoot the first 5 rounds that contained propane gas to saturate the area in gas and then the 6th round shot would set off the explosion as it ignited the gas from the first 5 rounds. They were used on the Eastern Front.

@@florin-titusniculescu5871 There's no competition over whose bomb is the most moral, what an utterly absurd thing to say. Everybody knows that the most moral bombs are whatever bombs the Israeli military deploys, because they are the _most moral army in the world._ That's why Israel is able to methodically bomb all infrastructure that makes human life possible, obliterating the foundations of civil society while enforcing military blockade to prevent food & drinkable water from entering the Gaza -ghetto- *strip* - not to mention fuel/energy & basic medical supplies - and none of it can possibly be tantamount to genocide. If Israel has the world's most moral army, then anything they do is inherently more moral than anything other countries' armies do, which means they're definitionally incapable of committing a crime like genocide - if you doubt this, or question anything, you're a raging antisemite. It's indisputable. How do we know that Israel's army is the most moral army in the world, you ask? Well now, that one's easy. *Israel said so.* That makes it true, automatically.

The US has been using thermobaric weapons since the Vietnam War. In recent years they have conveniently renamed them as "novel explosive" to avoid bad PR. Hundreds of thermobaric Hellfire missiles have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria - often in urban areas with little regard for civilian casualties.

У левых антисемитизм растет и становится нормой, а у правых он отступает и сменяется восхищением Государством Израиль как единственной страной, дающей отпор джихадистскому исламу. Израильтянам пора осознать исторический момент, в котором мы находимся, принять эту новую реальность и узнать, кто наши настоящие друзья. Большинство из нас уже видели фотографии и видеоролики, на которых демонстранты, выступающие за ХАМАС, срывают рождественские праздники по всему западному миру. В Италии традиционное рождественское представление в оперном театре «Ла Скала» в Милане было сорвано антиизраильскими демонстрантами. В Нью-Йорке демонстранты скандировали «Да здравствует интифада!» и «Рождество отменяется!», а традиционное зажжение рождественской елки на Рокфеллер-плаза было агрессивно прервано антиизраильскими бунтовщиками. 26 ноября в Сан-Паулу прошла массовая демонстрация в поддержку бывшего президента Жаира Болсонару. Пролистывая на следующий день ленту в социальных сетях, я увидел короткий видеоролик с толпой, заполнившей улицы. Поразили многочисленные израильские флаги в толпе. Почему демонстранты, выступающие в поддержку Болсонару и против социализма и исламизма в Бразилии, размахивают израильскими флагами? Какое отношение Израиль и его нынешняя борьба имеют к оппозиции в Бразилии? Чтобы в полной мере оценить значение этого явления, следует иметь в виду, что оно отнюдь не ограничивается Бразилией. Рассмотрим следующую цитату Герта Вилдерса, лидера правонационалистической голландской партии Партии свободы, который в прошлом месяце был избран главой правительства этой страны. «Война против Израиля - это война не против Израиля. Это война против Запада. Это джихад. Израиль просто получает удары, которые предназначены для всех нас. Если бы не было Израиля, исламский империализм нашел бы другие места для высвобождения своей энергии и стремления к завоеваниям. Многие в Европе выступают за отказ от Израиля, чтобы снять недовольство наших мусульманских меньшинств. Но если Израиль, не дай Бог, падет, это не принесет Западу никакого утешения. Это не означает, что наши мусульманские меньшинства вдруг изменят свое поведение и примут наши ценности. Напротив, конец Израиля придаст огромный стимул силам ислама. Они, и это будет справедливо, увидят в гибели Израиля доказательство того, что Запад слаб и обречен. Конец Израиля будет означать не конец наших проблем с исламом, а только их начало». Или вспомните слова Стива Бэннона, бывшего главного стратега и руководителя предвыборной кампании президента Дональда Трампа, сказанные в его популярном ежедневном шоу Warroom. «Дело не в Израиле, не в еврейском народе, - сказал он. - Это шариатско-супрематистское глобальное движение, которая финансирует мулл в Тегеране в партнерстве с Эрдоганом, который хочет восстановить Османскую империю Людям стоит проснуться. Речь идет о вас. Речь идет о вашей цивилизации. Речь идет о вашей культуре, вашем обществе, вашей стране. Это касается ваших убеждений, вашей семьи и ваших детей». Вилдерс и Бэннон - не исключения. Среди националистических правых сил по всему миру поддержка Израиля все больше становится нормой. Премьер-министр Венгрии Виктор Орбан и недавно избранный президент Аргентины Хавьер Милей - еще два примера лидеров правых националистов, которые являются убежденными сторонниками Израиля. Орбан дошел до того, что объявил вне закона демонстрации сторонников ХАМАСа в Венгрии. Во всем мире правый национализм находится на подъеме. Хотя есть много вопросов, которые объединяют это движение на разных континентах, один вопрос стоит выше остальных. Сторонники Милея, Вилдерса, Орбана и Бэннона считают, что западная цивилизация находится под угрозой. Судя по антирождественским демонстрациям, которые мы наблюдаем в Лондоне, Нью-Йорке и других городах, становится все более очевидным, что такая интерпретация текущего момента вполне точна. Кажущаяся смешной толпа Queers for Palestine на самом деле имеет большой смысл. Тот же самый культурно-политический лагерь, который хочет разрушить традиционные западные ценности, стремится уничтожить Израиль. Для израильтян настало время самоанализа. Весь сионистский проект был бы невозможен без иудео-христианского национализма, признаемся мы себе в этом или нет. Успешное капиталистическое национальное государство, построенное на религиозно-этнической идентичности, корни которой уходят в Библию, отвечает всем требованиям, которые презирают прогрессивные глобалистские левые. Отказ левых от Израиля всегда был предопределен. Правда ли, что правые националисты традиционно заражены антисемитизмом? Безусловно. Но времена меняются. У левых антисемитизм растет и становится нормой, а у правых он отступает и сменяется восхищением Государством Израиль как единственной страной, дающей отпор джихадистскому исламу. Израильтянам пора осознать исторический момент, в котором мы находимся, принять эту новую реальность и узнать, кто наши настоящие друзья.

Thermobaric bombs gets the misnomer "vacuum bomb", because of a partial vacuum it creates AFTER the initial explosion has already occurred. One of the effects is rupture of lungs after the shockwave but this happens from other explosions as well, be it from a nearby bomb like C4 going off or from an artillery strike. Shockwave happens during every explosion and is not exclusive to thermobaric or "vacuum" bombs/missiles.

The US used the "Daisy Cutter" variety to clear landing fields, so this bomb isn't exclusive to Russia. BLU-82 produces an overpressure of 1,000 pounds per square inch (6,900 kPa) near ground zero, tapering off as distance increases. It is detonated just above ground by a 38-inch (970 mm) fuze extender. This results in a maximum destruction at ground level without digging a crater.

TOS is very short range thus is only used very close to the front line where there is very few remaining civilians even in urban areas. Thus any debate about thermobaric weapons would be more pertinent with other weapons. In fact, the main defense against such weapons by the Ukrainian is not destroying them but dispersing their troups at the front line just as against others artillery weapons that have a zone of effect. This is why there is no continuous heavily manned trenches in this war. Any concentration of force would be very quickly destroyed by indirect fire.

I really don't understand why people insist on using the word "vacuum" with these devices. They don't "suck" oxygen from anywhere. There's a charge that distributes the fuel in the air, where the oxygen is, and a second that detonates the hopefully-by-then stochiometrically (is that a word? should be) ideal fuel/air mixture. Oxygen molecules surrounding but outside that cloud of fuel don't suddenly get somehow sucked up by the detonating compounds (aside from the inrush of air you'll often see after any large explosion, after the initial outgoing pressure wave, when the hot gasses loft). And I'm not arguing pro or con - I'm just saying, they're already harsh weapons, no need to make them sound scarier than they already are.
