A new incendiary weapon utilizing thermite bomblets has been created. In efforts to move away from nuclear, biological, and chemical mass destructive weapons the new warhead shows a promising future application as a nuclear deterrent while remaining "clean." Incendiary bombs are dropped in packs of four, one every 8 miles giving it a tremendous area of total destruction. When desired multiple bombs may be dropped in a localized area to create a firestorm, a huge inferno whose convection currents are like hurricane force winds that pull anything into the center.

The MWIE or Multiple Warhead Incendiary Explosive is a large multple warhead explosive weiging 20,000 pounds and contains tens of thousands of thermite explosives. When dropped it explodes in the atmosphere spreading bomblets over a large radius. Once it reaches a certain fall time (dependant on height launched explodes around 10-15 feet above ground level) it will explode similtanously creating a blanket of fire over a lower blanket of oxygen. The combustion sucks all the air out from below it creating a vacuum which in turn causes death. Arms Manufacturers promise the MWIE will cause instaneous death rather than slow burning to all in the radius limiting human suffering caused by the blast. Once detonated the thermite will reach temperatures of 2000C allowing it to destroy the infrastructure around it. We hope to gain support from the international community for striving for a non-nuclear means of deterrence. All countries interested in field testing may apply on this thread. We strive for a world save from the shadow of nuclear fallout.

OOC: Yeah this does seem just like a huge arse FAE but isn't quite the same just on the size basis.
