The primary versions of a roadside IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attack include the passive roadside IED, which is typically triggered by the presence of a vehicle or personnel, and the active roadside IED, which can be detonated remotely by the attacker. Other variations include the command-detonated IED, which is triggered by the operator at a specific moment, and the victim-operated IED, which is activated by the unwitting target. Each version employs different triggering mechanisms and tactics, impacting their effectiveness and the threat they pose.
FALSE
A primary component of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) is the explosive charge itself, which can be made from various materials such as military-grade explosives, homemade explosives, or commercially available substances. This charge is typically combined with a triggering mechanism, such as a pressure switch or remote detonation device, to initiate the explosion. Other components may include shrapnel or casing materials to increase lethality and damage.
