Critical Infrastructure Protection Options Against the Misuse of Explosives

Today’s military actions have had an unprecedented impact on critical infrastructures and have put countries, the European commonwealths, in a very difficult situation. Attacks on infrastructures and the problems of their performance have caused and may continue to cause not only economic but also political crises. Critical infrastructures are threatened by a number of dangers, which are, above all, an unhelpful consequence of technological progress. Of these threats, the most brutal are those related to the misuse of explosives and explosives-related offences. Unfortunately, there are numerous examples of explosive attacks on critical infrastructure and the attacks are still tangible today. We must therefore look at ways and means of effectively countering blast attacks and draw conclusions from the attacks that have taken place that can make further defenses effective.
