Wheeled Armored Vehicles
Wheeled Armored Vehicles (WAVs) are military vehicles designed to provide protection for personnel and equipment while maintaining mobility. They typically have a robust, armored exterior to defend against small arms fire and shrapnel. WAVs can be used for various purposes, including troop transport, reconnaissance, and command and control.
These vehicles often feature four or more wheels, allowing for better maneuverability on different terrains compared to tracked vehicles. Examples of WAVs include the MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicles and the LAV (Light Armored Vehicle), which are widely used by military forces around the world.
