Light Armored Vehicle

A Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) is a type of military vehicle designed for mobility, protection, and versatility on the battlefield. Typically wheeled and lighter than traditional tanks, LAVs can carry troops, equipment, or weapons. They are armored to protect against small arms fire and shrapnel but are not as heavily armored as main battle tanks. LAVs are often used for reconnaissance, patrol, and support roles, offering a balance between speed and protection, making them suitable for various terrains and combat situations. Their design allows for quick movement and adaptability to different military needs.
