'Molotov Breadbasket'
I am sure that we are all familiar with the term 'Molotov Cocktail' describing a bomb made from petrol in a bottle, but did you know that during the winter war between Finland and the Soviet Union (1939-1940) the Russian airforce employed a bomb which the Finns named the 'Molotov Breadbasket'. A casing containing sixty small incendary bomblets.
Hands up all those who thought that the Americans developed the cluster bomb...?
