The Fuel-Air Explosive Bomb (FAEB) is an air-to-ground weapon featured in most Ace Combat games from Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies onwards. As evidenced by its name, it is a thermobaric weapon that spreads a highly flammable fuel over the impact area, which is ignited in a massive fireball upon impact.

It causes a massive explosion upon impact, capable of inflicting damage to targets across an extremely wide area.
Although the power of the explosion is less than other bombs, it is extremely effective at wiping out a large cluster of smaller targets."
