It is great for getting up pet hair, and even better at killing thousands of densely packed together human beings.

". . .Thermobaric weapons - also known as vacuum bombs - are high-powered explosive that use the atmosphere itself as part of the explosion. They are among the most powerful non-nuclear weapons ever developed.

A thermobaric bomb dropped by the US on Taliban in Afghanistan in 2017 weighed 21,600 pounds and left a crater more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) wide after it exploded six feet above the ground.

Thermobaric weapons were developed by both the U.S. and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. In September 2007, Russia detonated the largest thermobaric weapon ever made, which created an explosion equivalent to 39.9 tons.

The U.S. version of the weapon reportedly costs over $16 million each.

'My fear would be that if they don't meet their timescale and objectives they would be indiscriminate in their use of violence,' the official said. 'They don’t adhere to the same principles of necessity and proportionality and rule of law that Western forces do.'

The bomb works by using oxygen from the surrounding air to generate a high-temperature explosion, making it far deadlier than a conventional weapon.

While Russian special forces have reached the suburbs of Kyiv, the bulk of Russia's heavy armour is believed to be still more than 50km away from the capital.

Western officials have suggested Russia will kill Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his ministers if they seize Kyiv.

It's a thermobaric bomb. Also called fuel air bomb.
The US has the MOAB,they blow up above ground and spread flammable liquid in a fine mist and the secondary explosion ignites it.
It burns all available oxygen out of an area causing suffocation along with a shockwave that will kill you.

Do the rules of this war allow it?
Russia will need to be able to state that all rules that applied for any of the US wars, would also be fair game.
Comparing the use of WMD's to the Iraq and Afghanistan war would cause some complications with America's talking points.

Why can't we just get this thing to the UNSC so that the fighting can be postponed long enough to start serious talks?

Russia is just being forced into escalating this war in order to continue to win. This to the detriment of the Ukrainian people who are being used as pawns.
