Use of explosives in ambushes

Explosive devices can enhance ambush effectiveness by adding shock and confusion, especially against vehicles or in deliberate setups.

Applications

  • Satchel charges and claymores are ideal for deliberate or vehicle ambushes.
  • Initiating the ambush with explosives increases lethality.
  • Not typically suited for hasty ambushes due to setup time.
