more than likely....or its a dud scud missile

It's a septic tank.

So what is there a real IED on the range that they have to find?

It looks like the tank off of either an F-15 or F-16

no...its an EOD training lane is all...its all fake...but i just liked the irony of the picure

No, we mean was that fuel tank(?) actually the practice IED?

The fuel tank here would not be the IED. It would be a distraction to make you think so, the actual IED is probably something that looks very blended into the area. Probably a pressure plate or a sensor switch of the like being that those are very common.

I belive it´s from an F-15. The F-16´s external fueltank have no dropwings.

I can see the IED......it a little to the right...of the scud/fuel tank/vibrator.

On the pile of dirt.

On the pile of dirt.

Technically, a fuel tank would count as an improvised explosive :\

Time to play a game of explosive where's Waldo?

you ,ay want to go re look at wat IED means .. before EVEN assuming that is a non-Live tank used as a Massive IED ..

considering teh News Plastered how damaging an IED in a Port was in 2020.. becuase of bad handling, storage and Confinement of that Farming product. -Lebanon, Beirut (still no action has been done about it today 2023)

this relatively 'LOL not an IED', can take out your tank from that position

I would say it's the object by the rock, the small ones.

You're not getting the context. This is a training lane designed to reinforce that IEDs are NOT always obvious. That is literally the whole point of a giant tank sitting there while the signs asks "Can you SPOT IT?" Their camouflaged nature is what frequently makes them so devastating.

Could a fuel tank be used as an IED? Sure. Is it representing one here? Absolutely frigging not.

I love this site
