Description: A "technical" is a light, improvised combat vehicle that gained popularity from the 1980s in various conflicts in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. It is based on civilian pickup trucks, modified by mounting weaponry such as heavy machine guns (HMG), anti-aircraft guns, or rocket launchers. Thanks to their mobility, availability, and low cost, "technicals" have become a symbol of modern asymmetric warfare.

Over time, they have become a staple in conflicts worldwide, offering a cheap and effective combat platform for irregular armed forces.
