How Powerful is Russia's ODAB-1500 with 120 atm Pressure?

Three months into the third year of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the conflict between these two nations is escalating without any signs of stopping. Recently, the Russian military has intensified its efforts in the northern Kharkiv region, focusing particularly on the city of Volchansk, which has become a focal point of intense combat. On May 21, news reports indicated that Ukrainian forces entrenched in the city are facing relentless artillery and air strikes.

A variety of munitions are being deployed to target these positions. One particularly powerful weapon that has captured attention is the volume-detonating thermobaric ODAB-1500 bomb. According to reports, this bomb struck a temporary deployment point of the Ukrainian military.

Russia's thermobaric weapons are considered extremely dangerous and devastating. They are designed to create a high-pressure and high-temperature explosion that can cause significant damage and casualties. Throughout the conflict, both sides have used these weapons, with the Russian TOS-1A flamethrower system gaining significant attention due to its destructive impact. However, the ODAB-1500 may not be as familiar. So, what about this new vacuum bomb, and how terrifying is it?
