A type Ia supernova explosion gives off 1– 2 × 10 44 joules of energy, which is about 2.4–4.8 hundred billion yottatons (24–48 octillion (2.4– 4.8 × 10 28) megatons) of TNT, equivalent to the explosive force of a quantity of TNT over a trillion (10 12) times the mass of the planet Earth.
Tritonal is a mixture of 80% TNT and 20% aluminium powder, used in several types of ordnance such as air-dropped bombs. The aluminium increases the total heat output and hence impulse of the TNT – the length of time during which the blast wave is positive. Tritonal is approximately 18% more powerful than TNT alone.

Diagram of a 4,000 lb HC Mark I bomb Standard American AN-M56 4,000 lb (1.8 t) general-purpose bomb. Blockbuster bombs were the RAF's high capacity (HC) bombs. Their especially thin casings allowed them to contain approximately three-quarters of their weight in explosive, with a 4,000 lb bomb (nominal weight) containing about 3,000 lb (1,400 kg) Amatol, RDX or Torpex.

From 1992 until 1994, McDonnell Douglas was the sole supplier of Tomahawks, producing Block II and Block III versions and remanufacturing many Tomahawks to Block III specifications. [12] In 1994, Hughes Aircraft , having purchased General Dynamics' missile division in 1992, outbid McDonnell Douglas to become the sole supplier of Tomahawks.
[2] ( SC 50 Stabo ) The Stabo variant is also like the Ja variant with the exception that it has a threaded lug forged to the nose of the bomb allowing for an 18.5 inches (470 mm) steel spike which is 1.8 inches (46 mm) in diameter to be secured to the lug which allows the bomb to detonate above ground, typically at a height of a person.
The Nag missile (IAST: Nāga - 'Cobra'), also called "Prospina" for the land-attack version, is an Indian third-generation, all-weather, fire-and-forget, lock-on after launch, anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) with an operational range of 500 m to 20 km depending on variant.
[1] [2] IEDs are generally utilized in terrorist operations or in asymmetric unconventional warfare or urban warfare by insurgent guerrillas or commando forces in a theatre of operations . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] In the Iraq War (2003–2011), insurgents used IEDs extensively against U.S.-led forces, and by the end of 2007, IEDs were responsible for ...
