The Molotov Cocktails

A Molotov cocktail is a simple incendiary device made by filling a glass bottle with flammable liquid, such as gasoline or alcohol, and then sealing it with a cloth or rag as a makeshift fuse. When thrown, the cloth ignites upon impact, breaking the bottle and dispersing the flammable liquid, which ignites and causes fire. Used primarily in protests or conflicts, it’s considered a crude weapon that relies on fire and explosion rather than sophisticated technology. Its use is often illegal and dangerous, posing risks to both the user and others nearby.
