FWIW, it sounds like you're describing an incendiary rocket.
Parody,

I think the "incendiary rocket" may instead work on what we'd call a "thermobaric" or "fuel-air explosive" principle. Different rockets work on this principle, and there are several real-life examples I know of developed by the Russians (TBG-7V, RPO-A Shmel) that do not use previously posted materials (phosphor, napalm or TPA) to create a flame but instead are true thermobaric weapons.

Granted, I don't know where the incendiary rocket is listed so I can't double-check, but incendiary rocket = thermobaric warhead makes sense for an optional rocket load, as opposed to a dedicated "flamethrower" weapon.
