Vacuum Bomb Ukraine: What are the Thermobaric Bombs in Ukraine?

 

Have vacuum bombs been used before?
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union allegedly used vacuum bombs against China in 1969.

It is also believed that the USA relied on them in its attempts to eliminate Al-Qaida in the mountains in Afghanistan and that Russia also deployed thermobaric weapons in Chechnya during the 1990s, with horrific consequences, according to Human Rights Watch.

Russians seem to be holding a wide range of third-generation FAE warheads.


Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch both have criticized the use of such weapons by Russia saying that international humanitarian law prohibits the use of inherently indiscriminate weapons such as cluster munitions.

合法説、違法説の両方ある。

(爆弾そのものは禁止されていないが、無差別殺戮の危険があるので違法という意味か???) 

いずれにせよ、アメリカも過去に使用しているのは皮肉。
