Which warhead is designed specifically for starting fires?

The incendiary warhead is specifically designed to start fires and is used to ignite combustible materials or cause extensive damage through burning. Its primary function is to produce intense heat and flames, which can lead to significant destruction in target areas, particularly in structures, forests, or other flammable materials.

Incendiary warheads often contain a combination of substances designed to create a large fireball on detonation, maximizing the ignition potential. These warheads can be particularly effective in scenarios requiring area denial or destruction of enemy resources through fire.

In contrast, fragmentation warheads focus on dispersing shrapnel to inflict damage through physical impact rather than fire. Thermobaric warheads utilize oxygen from the surrounding air to create a massive explosion but are not primarily fire-starting devices. Submunition warheads release smaller explosive devices and are designed for different tactical purposes.
