Lob bomb information


Lob bombs are often made from metal propane tanks that have been drained of their fuel and filled with explosives and fragmentation material

A lob bomb (known officially as an improvised rocket-assisted mortar,[1] improvised rocket-assisted munition,[2] or IRAM)[1] is a rocket-fired improvised explosive device made from a large metal canister (often a propane gas tank that has been drained of its contents and filled with explosives, scrap metal, and ball bearings),[3] which has been used by insurgents as well as the Iraqi military and police during the Iraq War since late 2007,[2][4][5] as well as by various forces in other conflicts. The weapon is essentially an airborne version of an improvised explosive device.
