Viet Cong booby traps were a means of asymmetric warfare used by the FNL to resist the military and technological superiority of South Vietnamese and American forces. They were designed to inflict physical and psychological damage on enemy soldiers, and to deter them from entering FNL-controlled areas. Viet Cong traps included not only net and drop traps, but also other types of trap, such as dart and grenade traps.
Viet Cong booby traps were often combined with each other or with other guerrilla tactics, such as ambushes, mines, tunnels or sonic booby traps. They posed a permanent and invisible threat to soldiers, who had to face an elusive and determined enemy. Viet Cong booby traps thus played an important role in the victory of the FNL and its North Vietnamese allies over the South Vietnamese and American forces.
