What is another word for IED?
Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪd] (IPA) 
IED stands for Improvised Explosive Device and it's a commonly used term in war-ravaged countries to describe a deadly makeshift weapon. Its synonyms include homemade bomb, homemade explosive, and improvised mine. These terms are used to describe the same type of device that is built using unconventional methods and materials not typically used in standard military arsenals. IEDs are particularly dangerous to soldiers and civilians alike, as they can be easily hidden and difficult to detect. As such, it's important for military personnel to train on recognizing potential IEDs and to use caution when in areas where they are known to be present.
