Does anyone know whether the US stockpiles fuel-air explosive (thermobaric/”vacuum”) bombs? I know the Russians do – I first heard about them when the Russians used them in Chechnya to kill troops hiding underground. I wondered whether they might be an effective emergency response in the first hours of a conflict, saturating the area north of the DMZ with them to kill underground troops operating artillery pieces. The pressure differentials they produced may also be enough seriously damage underground artillery pieces, or at least knock them off of their orientation.
