👉 Clay missiles, also known as claymore rockets or "clay bombs," are a type of incendiary weapon that use compressed gunpowder and a clay casing. These missiles were primarily used during World War I but saw limited use in later conflicts as well. The casing is typically made of clay, which expands when heated by the explosive force of the gunpowder, propelling the missile at high speeds. When launched, the clay casing ignites, creating a powerful explosion that generates intense heat and smoke, making it highly effective for incendiary purposes. Clay missiles were particularly useful for setting fires in enemy camps, villages, and infrastructure, disrupting enemy operations and causing significant damage.
