کاربد آب به عنوان مانع در عملیات پدافندی

Although there are considerable water resources like rivers, lakes and damns
throughout the operational areas, these resources are usually ignored nor given
much role in military planning. We can make better use of these resources by
applying engineering actions, exerting changes on earth and utilizing special
methods. This can have major and vital effects in different military operations,
especially defense operations, and increase the influence of the commanders’ will
in the theater. On the other hand, these actions, given a civil engineering look, and
due to their versatility, will reduce the sensitivity of the neighboring countries and
will practically contribute the deterring non-regional powers. The main reason for
paying attention to this issue and the primary approach of this article is to utilize
the surface resources of water such as rivers, lakes, streams and damns in tactical
activities for conducting highly-effective defense operations by using technical and
engineering methods which are both innovative and practical.
