👉 A replacing weapon, often referred to as a "swap weapon" or "replacement weapon," is a type of improvised explosive device (IED) that substitutes one explosive device for another to achieve a similar effect. Typically, this involves taking an existing bomb or explosive material and replacing it with a different explosive charge or device, such as a grenade or a smaller IED, to alter the target's impact, distance, or overall destructive potential. This tactic is commonly used in asymmetric warfare by non-state actors to maximize their limited resources and increase the effectiveness of their attacks.
