incendiary warfare

Incendiary warfare involves using devices or substances designed to start fires to damage objects, areas, or enemy forces. These weapons, such as flamethrowers, incendiary bombs, or napalm, generate intense heat and flames to destroy infrastructure, equipment, or hinder enemy movement. They are often employed to create chaos, destroy supplies, or force adversaries to relocate. While effective in certain scenarios, incendiary devices can cause widespread fires and suffering, raising ethical and legal concerns under international agreements. This tactic emphasizes the destructive power of fire as a weapon in modern warfare.
