A flame fougasse (sometimes contracted to fougasse and may be spelled foo gas) is a type of mine or improvised explosive device which uses an explosive charge to project burning liquid onto a target. The flame fougasse was developed by the Petroleum Warfare Department in Britain as an anti-tank weapon during the invasion crisis of 1940. During that period, about 50,000 flame fougasse barrels were deployed in some 7,000 batteries, mostly in southern England and a little later at 2,000 sites in Scotland. Although never used in combat in Britain, the design saw action later in Greece.

  • Une fougasse incendiaire (en anglais : flame fougasse, parfois « fougasse » tout court, ou « foo gas ») est un type de mine terrestre qui utilise une charge explosive pour projeter un liquide enflammé sur une cible. Elle fut initialement développée par le Petroleum Warfare Department en Grande-Bretagne comme une arme anti-char lors de la menace d'une invasion allemande en 1940 et en riposte à la préparation de l'Opération Seelöwe. Durant cette période, environ 50 000 barils de liquide furent déployés en 7 000 batteries, principalement dans le sud de l'Angleterre et, un peu plus tard, sur 2 000 sites en Écosse. Bien que jamais entrée en usage en Grande-Bretagne, l'arme fut utilisée plus tard en Grèce. (fr)
