some bomb question

[mcoy]

I'm doing some research hw on fuel air bombs....does it even exist?

[YT2095]

they do exist, Google for "Daisy cutter"

it might just be me but i've always known em as FAE (fuel air explosives) so try searching for that too.

[YT2095]

Fuel Air Explosion (not explosIVES)

 

and the problem with that is there are many ways this can occur. and so a stand alone FAE search will give a load of NON Bomb fluff too.

acronym finder, dictionary.com and google definition all show FAE to be fuel air explosive... now i'm not the expert on these things, but that's how i've always learnt it and when acronym finder, dictionary.com and google all agree with me.......

How Odd?

 

Mine says: "FAE.... Fuel Air Explosion"

 

from here: http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/oil_well_fires/oil_well_fires_taba.htm

the guys that use them to put Oil fires out in the Gulf.

cool...so basically its just a bomb desinged for 'landing' purposes and scaring the wits out of the enemies, but not for incinerating them.....but how did the russians get it? spies again?

 

this is a good page to give us some background about FAE's....
