Islamic State SVBIED development & innovation in the battle of Mosul [Case study for Jane’s Terrorism & Insurgency Center]

Production, design, employment, tactics, and the introduction of camouflaged SVBIEDs, a blend of covert and up-armored SVBIEDs, as well as rocket-upgraded SVBIEDs are all covered.
