China has reportedly tested a cutting-edge, non-nuclear hydrogen bomb built from magnesium hydride, generating a searing fireball over 1,000°C that lasted 15 times longer than traditional TNT. Developed by researchers at China’s 705 Research Institute, this new explosive tech could reshape future battlefield weapons, mimicking thermobaric effects. The bomb offers precise control, extreme heat, and widespread damage potential. The successful test, revealed in a Chinese journal, hints at Beijing’s rapid military innovation. Mass production of the explosive compound has also begun, signaling broader deployment plans ahead.
