EFP "Explosive Fired Projectile" AKA a Cannon.

The MRAPS are designed to withstand the expansion of air/shrapenel from the explosion of the IED, HOWEVER....they are not designed to withstand a direct hit from a fired projectile aka EFP.

A low tech option is to use epoxy paint in a glass container, thrown at the windshield the people inside will have to get out to see where they are going. Pair this with some tank traps and dead falls and you have a low tech option for success.

Granted NO SUCCESS COMES WITHOUT SACRAFICE SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
