The Molotov cocktail, also known as the petrol bomb, gasoline bomb, fire bomb, or simply Molotov, is a generic name used for a variety of improvised incendiary weapons. They are frequently used by rioters due to the relative ease of production. They typically consist of some form of easily breakable vessel or container, often a glass bottle, filled with a highly flammable mixture of gasoline or napalm mixed with surfactants or other thickening agents, with a wick, often of cloth, soaked in a slowly burning combustible liquid like kerosene that penetrates through the sealed opening of the vessel.

The bombs were derisively named after the then Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, Vyacheslav Molotov, by the Finns during the Winter War.
