A thermobaric weapon, popularly known as a Fuel Air Bomb is designed to produce a massive shockwave. Said to be as powerful as a small nuclear bomb, it produces its deadly explosion by releasing a liquid fuel agent into the air first, allowing what is hoped to be maximum combination of fuel and air (it takes a large amount of oxygen to optimally burn fuel, thus the presence of carbon monoxide from car engines. Complete burning produces carbon dioxide). Then, an explosive charge detonates the fuel-air combination after the fuel-air mixture has a time to combine. Since the explosion is dispersed over the cloud of gas, it has a difficult time destroying heavily built up targets, but will wreak havoc on unprotected infantry and light vehicles, and aircraft of all types. Furthermore, due to its

| - A thermobaric weapon, popularly known as a Fuel Air Bomb is designed to produce a massive shockwave. Said to be as powerful as a small nuclear bomb, it produces its deadly explosion by releasing a liquid fuel agent into the air first, allowing what is hoped to be maximum combination of fuel and air (it takes a large amount of oxygen to optimally burn fuel, thus the presence of carbon monoxide from car engines. Complete burning produces carbon dioxide). Then, an explosive charge detonates the fuel-air combination after the fuel-air mixture has a time to combine. Since the explosion is dispersed over the cloud of gas, it has a difficult time destroying heavily built up targets, but will wreak havoc on unprotected infantry and light vehicles, and aircraft of all types. Furthermore, due to its over-pressurization and high heat, fuel air bombs tend to be very effective against bunkers. The fuel air bomb can be upgraded to a MOAB (Massive Ordinance Air Burst) at the strategy centre for 4000 USD. The MOAB is almost twice as powerful than that of the Fuel Air Bomb and instead of being dropped in a B-52 bomber it is instead dropped onto the target area by a B3 stealth Bomber which is faster than the B-52, so it is useful at defending the base when a horde of tanks are aproaching.
