Drones that can explode on impact, sometimes known as one-way drones or loitering munitions, have been in development since the 1970s in various forms, and in active use in the U.S. military in ...
Natural explosions can occur for a variety of reasons. Post-mortem explosions, like that of a beached whale, are the result of the build-up of natural gases created by methane-producing bacteria inside the carcass during the decomposition process. [2] Natural explosions which occur while an animal is living may be defense-related.

The first three arrive almost simultaneously, since they travel at light-speed, though thermal radiation can last several seconds and inflict severe burns miles from a blast site.
[1] [10] The remote minelaying systems can only use cluster munition containing PFM-1 mines. The cassettes that contain the PFM-1 mines are KSF-1 (72 PFM-1), KSF-1S (64 PFM-1S) or KSF-1S-0.5 (36 PFM-1 and 36 PFM-1S). [11] [12] Because the mine is so light, it can be carried in waterways and move downstream after heavy rains or melting snow.
The early versions in Syria used lit fuses and thus had to be carefully timed, otherwise they would fail to explode before breaking apart on the ground or explode too soon in the air. [9] Later models had impact fuses and stabilizing fins which were improved on over time. [9] Earlier barrel bombs also weighed less (100–300 pounds/45–150 kg ...

The XM25 CDTE fires 25 mm grenades that are set to explode in mid-air at or near the target. A laser rangefinder in the weapon is used to determine the distance to the target. The user can manually adjust the detonating distance by up to 10 feet (3.0 m) shorter or longer; the XM25 automatically transmits the detonating distance to the grenade ...
