M9072 Incendiary Bomb

In 2540, the UNSC needed a type of bomb that could slow down Covenant advancements and attack Covenant bases. Conventional explosive bombs didn't cut it. The Navy requested a weapon that could damage targets for some time after detonation. They already had the M9071 Incendiary Bomb, but it was very faulty, as it often didn't detonate on time, and sometimes the solution inside wouldn't combust. After two years, research teams finished contemplating the Model 9072, a much more worthy weapon than its predecessor. It was first used in a Covenant-occupied jungle where twelve of these were dropped in a four two square-mile area. They inflicted an estimated 1,140 casulaties thanks to the area's light drought leading to rapid burning. Longsword Interceptors can carry up to eighteen of these, which is more than enough to disable a small base.
