Molotov Cocktail

An incendiary bomb that triggers a fire to spread when thrown.

It is made by a glass container, a flammable liquid (usually gasoline or alcohol with 50% alcohol content or higher), a rag and a source of fire (lighter or matches).

- Fill glass container with flammable liquid

- Make a wick with the rag and place it in the glass container with part of it hanging out

-Light the external part of the wick on fire

-Throw the Molotov Cocktail from a safe distance

I’m probably on a list now.

The Molotov Cocktail originated in Finland during the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland. The bomb was mass produced as a mockery to the Soviet lie of food being dropped to the Finns from the sky while, in reality, bombs were dropped instead. A drink to go with the food. The term: ‘Molotov Cocktail’ derived from the name of the Soviet foreign minister with the last name: ‘Molotov’.

Nowadays, Molotov Cocktails are utilised in riots and low-level terrorist attacks.
On April 16th 2023, the New Irish Republican Army was blamed for an attack on a police van in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland where the Molotov Cocktail was used in large quantities during a New Irish Republican Army march to commemorate the Easter Rising of 1916.
