LAV (Light Armoured Vehicle)

A Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV) is a military vehicle designed for mobility and protection in combat zones. It combines a lightweight construction with armor to defend against small arms fire and shrapnel, making it suitable for reconnaissance, troop transport, and support roles. LAVs can travel quickly across various terrains, often equipped with weapons and communication systems. Their lighter weight allows for rapid deployment and strategic flexibility, while still providing essential protection for personnel. Overall, LAVs are versatile, mobile platforms that enhance battlefield effectiveness without the bulk of heavier armored vehicles.
