A Bangalore Torpedo is a type of explosive device used primarily for clearing obstacles and destroying buildings, fortifications, or other structures. It was first developed by the British Indian Army in the city of Bangalore, India, in the early 20th century. The device typically includes a series of linked tubes filled with explosives that can be pushed into position and detonated remotely.
