Eli5: Why is Urban warfare feared as the most difficult form of warfare for a military to conduct?
In: 1719
Not only do you have the battlefield in front of you (or all around depending on the conflict) the urban environment adds a vertical factor also so you not only need to worry about what’s down range, you have to worry about what’s on the floors of buildings above and below you. Adding in the possibility of collateral damage (civilians and innocent bystanders) just complicates everything.
