Yom Kippur war. Soviet-Afghan war. PLA. IEDs against US military in all the Middle East conflicts. IRA. There is no qualitative shift. Perhaps a quantitative one, but even that is dubious. This is just the nature of asymmetric war and the development of technology during conflict.

I've just recently read how in Yom Kippur war Egyptians breached Israel's "impenetrable" line of fortifications on the banks of Suez channel, whose main part were 20 m high earth barriers to prevent landing. However, as they happened to be made of sand and sandy soil, Egyptians used high-power water cannons to simply flush down the sand and in ~2 hours opened huge holes through which they entered.
