Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) are armored vehicles designed to transport and support infantry troops on the battlefield. They combine the mobility of a vehicle with the firepower to engage enemy forces, often equipped with cannons, machine guns, and sometimes anti-tank missiles. IFVs provide protection for soldiers while allowing them to fight from within the vehicle. These vehicles are crucial in modern warfare, as they enhance the effectiveness of ground troops. IFVs can operate in various terrains and are often used in conjunction with other military assets, such as tanks and armored personnel carriers, to create a well-rounded combat force.
