Guidance method where a target is illuminated by a laser, and a weapon's seeker homes in on the reflected beam to achieve precision strikes.
Thermobaric or fuel-air munitions disperse and ignite an aerosol cloud of fuel, creating a high-temperature, high-pressure explosion with prolonged blast effects.
