👉 Baking missiles, also known as "baking bombs" or "baked bombs," are improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that utilize a non-explosive core encased in a package designed to detonate upon impact. Typically, the core consists of a small explosive charge like TNT or PETN, often wrapped in a non-explosive material such as plastic or fabric. The package is then filled with a weight, often sand, concrete, or other dense materials to increase the blast radius and force upon detonation. When the package is triggered, usually by a trigger mechanism or by being dropped onto a surface, the non-explosive outer layer ruptures, allowing the explosive core to detonate rapidly, creating a powerful shockwave and blast that can cause significant damage and injury. These devices are often used in asymmetric warfare due to their relative simplicity and the availability of common materials.
