BLU-96 Fuel-Air Explosive (FAE)

[nielsch06]

I admit, it looks cool. But remember; These things shred woman and children of all ages to bloody bits, that (in the case of Americans) had absolutely nothing to do with terrorism whatsoever. It's sad that weapon-manufacturers don't get to see or clean up a few bodyparts of a 6 year old, before considering selling these monsters to a bankrupt country to be used on another bankrupt country.

Purely for oil and money, it's kinda sad in a way...

Example Libya, 24 hours ago

@nielsch06 - They wouldn't care about cleaning up shredded children at all. They would be more concerned with making sure that they got the invoice for the plastic bags to the accounting team in a timely fashion.

If you think THAT'S exciting, now imagine how many of BLU-96's a single B-52 could shower into one place.

[0FlyingSwede0]

@BlacktailDefense thats a scary thought

[watcher102030]

*BOOM* Why the hell did you put a lighter near ma butt?

[UnholyOneToo]

someone tried this on tu-154m with prez. Kaczynski on board...

@UnholyOneToo

sure :D

[Sursion7]

That's small compared to what the Russians make now a days.

[AnEnemy100]

Is it true that Russians used fuel air bombs against Chechens? 

[arasaka2020tm]

@AnEnemy100 Yes that is true, but know that fuel air explosives are becoming quite common. The russians usually use a liquid model, while nato use a solid oxidizer mixed with a common explosive. A solid is much more stable, has longer shelf life and avoids unnecessary press coverage.... Aluminium in powdered form will do the job almost as well as a liquid.

[TomashPL58]

Cool way to deal with minefields :D

Don't Ya think so?

[HeaanLasai]

@TomashPL58 Actually they figured out that mines did not reliably destroy mines, so they stopped that project. Also it had no effect at all on certain models of trip wire mines.

[savageman3006]

Kick ass, where can I buy one of those?

[Hismathefirst]

ebay and maybe in a well assorted hardware store

[sabinedreska]

that´s army dumpass

[savageman3006]

Actually, here in America we can pick up small to medium size FAE's at any corner drug store. Lawn darts are still illegal though.

[mtcruse]

Damn, I loves me some Jarts!

[SilenceSlayer224]

@savageman3006 Yeah, because Lawn Darts are dangerous in the hands of a moron.... oh wait.. I see your point.

[cbrd1228]

@savageman3006 You dipshit you can get lawn darts at Fred Meyers...I live in America also...

[castlebravo]

FAE's are best known for their concussion, blast wave. Good for soft targets, anti-personal, and also caves in afganistan.

[drchen054]

Haha. Well I'll just have to make some antimatter in the bathtub then.

[peepeevagi]

Good old FAEweiner.

Shame it cant be made more powerfull though.

Like, pulling a tank up off the ground and into the explosion powerfull.

[drchen054]

Red Mercury.

[peepeevagi]

Red mercury is just a myth.

Just like smoking Peanut shells to get high or anything the government has done a study on, lol.
