👉 A microphone weapon, also known as a microphone bomb or acoustic sabotage device, is an improvised explosive device (IED) that targets microphones and audio equipment. It typically involves placing a small explosive charge near or within a microphone, often using materials like plastic or metal that can detonate upon impact. The primary goal is to disrupt communication systems, particularly those used in military or security operations, by silencing critical audio feeds. This can cause confusion, miscommunication, and potentially compromise sensitive operations, making it a significant threat in asymmetric warfare scenarios.
