Thermobaric missile/vacuum missile/bomb

The Arabic is already an awkward translation of this type of weapons.

In French, bombes à vide

air burst missile/bomb

This piece of news isn't accurate. An air burst missile/bomb usually targets groups/infantry. It explodes in the air directly above the target for a wider kill zone.
