Devastating Thermobaric Rocket Drops Entire House on Militant's Heads

Footage released by an Indian Soldier shows the destruction of a home that allegedly had militants inside of it. The Soldier's statement says that the footage is of a thermobaric rocket being used.


My gut instinct on this video tells me that we're looking at a training range where demolitions are being used to drop a house. The story of the Soldier who released this video is different however, as he states that a thermobaric rocket was used to drop the house on top of unknown militant fighters. The problem with that statement however is that there is no initial blast heard in the video, which would indicate a rocket being fired. There's just the explosion itself which brings the house down.


My second issue is only seen for a few seconds. On the right hand side of the screen you'll see a Soldier holding up his camera phone to take a video of the explosion. This tells me that the event was pre-planned, and the Soldiers all knew the house was about to be detonated, most likely through some conventional explosives.


Ultimately, the lot of you here at Funker530 have more experience than me in explosives. While my gut instinct tells me that we're not watching a thermobaric rocket being fired, I'll leave it up to you guys to discuss down in the comments section. Regardless of the context, this is still a pretty great video, because everyone likes watching explosions from time to time.
