truck bomb
Motorized terror weapon
A truck bomb is an explosive device concealed within or mounted on a truck or other large vehicle, designed to be detonated at a target location.
The size of the vehicle allows for a much larger payload than other delivery methods, making truck bombs capable of catastrophic destruction.
They have been used in terrorist attacks and wartime operations against buildings, military installations, and crowded areas.
The truck bomb devastated the federal building.
