AFV (Armored Fighting Vehicle)

An Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV) is a type of military vehicle designed for combat, providing protection for its crew and weapons while allowing mobility on the battlefield. AFVs can include tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers. They are built with heavy armor to withstand enemy fire and often feature tracks instead of wheels for better maneuverability on rough terrain. AFVs play a crucial role in modern warfare, enabling forces to engage in direct combat, transport troops safely, and provide fire support while reducing vulnerability to attacks.
