] Starting in the late 1970s, the Army did a considerable amount of fleet testing to demonstrate the acceptability of using alternative fuels, beginning with gasohol (10 percent ethyl alcohol in gasoline) and then M85 methanol and JP-8, an aviation kerosene fuel that became the single fuel for the battlefield.
Tests carried out on the M85 have found that in reality, it has a 10 percent failure rate, with experts warning that this could increase depending on where and how the weapon is deployed.
Human Rights Watch said it had received a letter from the Georgian defence ministry acknowledging the use of M85 cluster bombs near the Roki tunnel that connects South Ossetia with Russia.
