Threats in urban terrain

---

This block is not in a published chapter and should not be relied upon.

Urban environments present two primary threats to armoured vehicles:

1. Anti-Vehicle Ambushes (AV threats) - Hidden enemy teams with launchers can appear suddenly from windows, alleys, or rooftops.
   • Infantry should clear windows, doors, and corners ahead of the vehicle to reduce this risk.
2. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) - These are often placed in choke points or along predictable vehicle routes.

Infantry should scout slightly ahead, observing for disturbed ground, hidden wires, or suspicious objects that may indicate a threat.
