Armoured fighting vehicle
An armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) is a military vehicle designed for combat that combines mobility, protection, and firepower. It is built to traverse tough terrain while shielding its crew from enemy fire, often using thick armour plating. AFVs include tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers, each serving different roles such as attack, troop transport, or support. They are equipped with weapons like guns or cannons to engage opponents, making them essential in modern warfare for both offensive and defensive operations. Their primary goal is to ensure crew safety while enabling effective combat capabilities on the battlefield.
