fuel-air explosive

Warhead containing a highly flammable petroleum and oxygen mixture; when released over a target, this mixes with the oxygen in the atmosphere and produces a vapour which, when ignited, causes a blast approximately five times more powerful than conventional high explosives.

Fuel-air explosives were used by the US Air Force in the 1991 Gulf War against Iraqi defensive positions.
