Semtex
From ARRSEpedia
A well hard bit of ordinance dreamt up by the Czechs...the people who gave us Skodas (Can you believe it?). Prefered weapon of choice of the IRA, Hezbollah, ETA, Hammas and related baby butchering chums.
As little as 250g can down an airliner. Around 10 tonnes of Semtex is produced annually ... jeez that would be a big bang!
Also an energy drink sort of like Red Bull marketed in the Czech Republic.
