The classical bunker buster are built like super-sized battleship shells, very heavy and dense weapons with a hardened cap (with only a modest amount of high explosives) designed to punch through metres worth of concrete before exploding. Thermobaric weapons (earlier they were often referred to as fuel-air explosives) are more like a flamethrower.
