Concept in Definition ABC

A ambush is the concealment of one or more people in order to be able to surprise another or others. For example: "The enemy ambushed them and his army was decimated.”

People who hide with the mission of surprising others, usually in the context of a war

It is an extremely frequent term within the military field, because the ambush is a widely used military tactic that consists of the violent and surprise attack on any enemy element that is found, either in movement or occupying a certain position temporarily.

This unexpected nature of the ambush is what makes it a technique quite successful when it is implemented, because of course, the enemy does not expect that attack and then it will be unprepared and the victory will result from the one who prepared the ambush.

It should be noted that ambushing is certainly a millennial technique, already in times of domination Roman used it, the Romans had no other chance before the imprint of the indigenous attacks than to develop new fighting techniques; on the other hand, during the Muslim invasion in

Spain it was common for forests to be burned in order to drive the enemy out into the open country.

Some time later, with the advent of explosives, a new facet was given to this tactic, since through this it was possible to destroy entire military formations, even armored ones, in minor but really ferocious engagements.

Their main mission is to seriously injure those who are destined, to kill him, to maim him, to leave him out of the way.

Today this type of mine abounds in Africa and they are certainly a scourge because they can be stepped on by innocents, which have nothing to do with conflicts between factions.
