Military ordnance

Military ordnance refers to various types of controlled explosive devices used by armed forces, including bombs, missiles, grenades, and artillery shells. These tools are designed for combat purposes, often to damage or destroy targets such as enemy equipment or infrastructure. Ordnance includes not only the explosive munitions but also related hardware like detonators and fuzes that activate the devices. Handling and disposal of military ordnance require specialized training to prevent accidental detonation and ensure safety, especially for unexploded or faulty devices encountered after conflicts.
