How do thermobaric bombs do damage?
In: 1
The way thermobaric ordinance works is that instead of being filled with high explosive for a sharp detonation, they are filled with something like gasoline or propane that is aerosolized just before impact and then lit. This results in a detonation that takes longer than a high explosive causing a less extreme but much larger pressure wave. This results in what’s called barotrauma which is when the organs are yanked around and you die due to the internal damage caused by it not by external shrapnel
