“Footage of the Russian thermobaric bomb ODAB500. These airborne fuel-air explosive bombs are extremely deadly. They explode in 2 stages, the charge of the first stage spreads an aerosol consisting of very fine material - from carbon fuel to tiny metal particles. The second charge ignites this cloud, creating a fireball, a huge shock wave, and a vacuum that absorbs all the surrounding oxygen”

A recent example of this is testing in support of an airworthiness release that will allow the Spike non-line of site missile to be integrated into the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter
Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) program, which aims to field systems capable of accurately firing at targets 100 kilometers away, a dramatic increase over the 30 kilometers a currently-fielded 155mm howitzer shell is capable of when fired at top zone with rocket assistance
Excalibur precision guided munition and the XM1113 rocket-assisted high explosive projectile from a Prototype 0 XM 1299 self-propelled howitzer. Both Excalibur projectiles achieved a 65 kilometer precision hit, and both XM 1113 projectiles achieved a 65 kilometer range. The performance of the XM 1299, outfitted with a 58 caliber tube on a PIM chassis with loader assist, was the centerpiece of the test.

Repost, but I really wanted to know, is this even possible? And at what cost for the ears?
