Russia-backed militia launch thermobaric rocket

This footage that shows thermobaric rockets, also known as vacuum bombs, being launched in Ukraine, Qazet.az reports.

The video, from the People's Militia of the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic, shows the rockets being fired from a Russian-made TOS-1A multiple rocket launcher.

Thermobaric weapons are controversial because they are much more devastating than conventional explosives of similar size, and have a terrible impact on anyone caught in their blast radius.
