Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED) look like something out of a Mad Max movie, and are made to ram targets before detonation.

YPG fighters sit and look inside a captured VBIED.

Referred to as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIED), the homemade car bombs ISIS has employed are usually driven by suicidal militants throughout Syria and Iraq, oftentimes to devastating effect.

VBIEDs are usually homemade from domestic vehicles, and outfitted with armor so that they are practically indestructible from small arms and even rocket-propelled grenades.

This video from Sky News gives a glimpse into one of these rarely captured VBIED suicide vehicles, showing the inside, the armor on the outside and the trunk where the plastic explosives are held.
