It is a cat and mouse game with IEDs, as we improve the defenses against such things in Iraq, the enemy changes tactics and or makes IEDs to deal with our improved defenses against IEDs.
The very nature of IEDs means the side employing the IED will have the upper hand, in this case our enemy.
I've yet to see any vehicle that can withstand an IED hit, as an IED can be another vehicle parked along side the road with tons of elxplosives packed inside. Or a building can be blown over on top of a Tank, stopping the Tank, and then the Tank is set ablaze.
The EOD Tech Center is trying to come up with ways to keep the US Military safer in Iraq in relation to the IED threat, but the IED builders are the Cat in this game, with the US playing the role of Mouse.
