MOLOTOVCOCKTAIL

Molotov cocktail

The Molotov cocktail, also known as a Petrol Bomb, Fire Bomb or just Molotov is a generic name used for a variety of bottle-based improvised incendiary weapons. Due to the relative ease of production, they are frequently used by amateur protesters and non-professionally equipped fighters in urban guerrilla warfare. They are primarily intended to set targets ablaze rather than instantly destroy them.
