The Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988

[plloyd1010]

FAE=Fuel-air explosive, aka Thermobaric weapon. A method weapon developed in the early to mid 70's. The process is to create a highly oxidized fuel cloud and ignite it, creating a concussive blast. Aspirationally referred to as the poor man's a-bomb (doesn't really come close but...). Replaced by cluster-bombs by most western powers due to the problematic nature of its use.
