The '''''Arme Thermobarique - Delta 10''''' ('''AT-D-10'''), nicknamed '''Yonderian Lancer Ordinance''' ('''YOLO''') and sometimes '''Delta 10''', is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] {{wpl|Thermobaric bomb|thermobaric}} {{wpl|Precision-guided munition|smart munition}} developed by [[AMY]]. The YOLO is widely considered by experts to be the most powerful conventional (non-nuclear) weapon in the world. Although designated an "Extreme Tactical Weapon" (''Arme tactique extrême'') in official Yonderian terminology, experts and commentators agree that the YOLO is more akin to a {{wpl|Weapon of mass destruction|strategic weapon}}. The YOLO's capabilities are comparable to nuclear weapons, but unlike nuclear weapons known for their radioactive fallout, use of the weapon does not damage or pollute the environment beyond the initial blast radius. | The '''''Arme Thermobarique - Delta 10''''' ('''AT-D-10'''), nicknamed '''Yonderian Lancer Ordinance''' ('''YOLO''') and sometimes '''Delta 10''', is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] {{wpl|Thermobaric bomb|thermobaric}} {{wpl|Precision-guided munition|smart munition}} developed by [[AMY]].

The YOLO can be deployed either by combat aircraft or from mobile ground transports using additional rocket boosters for propulsion. The YOLO can be guided onto target via {{wpl|Laser-guided bomb|laser designation}}, {{wpl|Satellite navigation systems|satellite navigation systems}} or {{wpl|Infrared homing|infrared homing devices}}. It was first field tested in 2010 on the [[Yonderian Defence Force|YDF]]'s proving grounds outside [[Toubourg]], [[Amarre]] as part of pre-adoption testing. Serial production began in 2010, with the first battery delivered to the Yonderian Defence Force in early 2011.
