The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has spent £250,000 on high-tech simulator equipment to provide more realistic training for frontline troops facing the threat of roadside and suicide bombs.

The equipment was demonstrated earlier this month at the MoD's urban training village at Copehill Down in Wiltshire.
