			'''Molotov cocktail''' is an improvised incendiary weapon made from a breakable bottle filled with a flammable liquid and fitted with a cloth wick. When lit and thrown, the bottle shatters on impact and spreads burning fuel over the target area. It is best known as a simple, low-cost incendiary used in urban and guerrilla warfare for attacking vehicles, positions, and structures at very short range.

			==HISTORY==
			The Molotov cocktail gained prominence in the late 1930s and early 1940s as an expedient anti-vehicle and incendiary weapon, particularly when regular forces or irregular fighters lacked purpose-built flame weapons or anti-armor munitions. Its effectiveness depends heavily on the fuel mixture, the container’s ability to break reliably on impact, and the user’s ability to deliver it at close range—while accepting significant personal risk from return fire and the hazard of carrying burning fuel.

	~~<hr>~~		In the Vietnam War era, improvised incendiaries remained part of the broader toolkit of irregular warfare worldwide, where materials were readily available and formal supply was limited. In practice, Molotov cocktails were most useful for ambushes, clearing light cover, and creating confusion or fires in confined areas, but they were far less effective against modern armored vehicles with sealed engine compartments and fire suppression, and they were generally a last-resort option compared with dedicated incendiaries or anti-armor weapons.
