Armoured Fighting Vehicle
An armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) is an armed combat vehicle protected by armour, generally combining operational mobility with offensive and defensive capabilities. AFVs can be wheeled or tracked. Examples of AFVs are tanks, armoured cars, assault guns, self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicles, and armoured personnel carriers. Armoured fighting vehicles are classified according to their characteristics and intended role on the battlefield. The classifications are not absolute; two countries may classify the same vehicle differently, and the criteria change over time. For example, relatively lightly armed armoured personnel carriers were largely superseded by infantry fighting vehicles with much heavier armament in a similar role. Successful designs are often adapted to a wide variety of applications. For example, the MOWAG Piranha, originally designed as an APC, has been adapted to fill numerous roles such as a mortar carrier, infantry fighting vehicle, and ...

List Of Armoured Fighting Vehicles Of Ukraine
This is a list of armoured fighting vehicles originating in Ukraine, including the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Ukraine's main tank factory is the Malyshev Factory, established 1895 as the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, KhPZ. It started building tractors in 1923, and had the Morozov Design Bureau (KMDB) for tanks added in 1928. It was evacuated to Nizhny Tagil, Russia, from 1941 to 1944/45 during the Second World War. Important tank refurbishing and repair plants include the Kyiv Armoured Plant (KBTZ, established 1935), Zhytomyr Armoured Plant (ZhBTZ, 1943), Lviv Armoured Plant (LBTZ, 1944), Mykolaiv Armored Plant (MBTZ, 1948), Kharkiv Armoured Plant (KhBTZ, 1996). The Mikrotek Basic Centre for Critical Technologies in Kyiv develops reactive and active armour systems since 1994. Figures are dates and numbers built in Ukraine, except where noted. As of 22 April the US Defense Department considers that, because of the large number of tanks lost by and captured from Russian fo ...

Tank
A tank is an armoured fighting vehicle intended as a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground combat. Tank designs are a balance of heavy firepower, strong armour, and good battlefield mobility provided by tracks and a powerful engine; usually their main armament is mounted in a turret. They are a mainstay of modern 20th and 21st century ground forces and a key part of combined arms combat. Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapons platforms whose main armament is a large-caliber tank gun mounted in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by machine guns or other ranged weapons such as anti-tank guided missiles or rocket launchers. They have heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's munition storage, fuel tank and propulsion systems. The use of tracks rather than wheels provides improved operational mobility which allows the tank to overcome rugged terrain and adverse conditions such as mud and ice/snow better than wheeled vehicles, ...

List Of Artillery
Artillery has been one of primary weapons of war since before the Napoleonic Era. Several countries have developed and built artillery systems, while artillery itself has been continually improved and redesigned to meet the evolving needs of the battlefield. This has led to a multitude of different types and designs which have played a role in the history of warfare and continue to be a significant factor in modern combat. For the most part, the following lists of artillery cover guns, howitzers, mortars, and other large projectile weapons. Small arms and missiles are not generally included, though rockets and other bombardment weapons may be.

List Of Armoured Trains
This is a list of armoured trains of different countries. Canada *The No. 1 Armoured Train During World War II, the Canadian high command implemented this armoured train for protection of the Canadian National Railway line between Prince Rupert, an important naval port for the Aleutian Island campaign, and Terrace, from potential attack by Japanese aircraft, submarines/gunboats, and infantry. The train eventually was composed of a gondola with a WWI-era 75mm gun and searchlight, a gondola with two 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns, a troop boxcar, a kitchen car, and a steam locomotive, with all the cars outfitted with armour. A diesel engine was also experimentally outfitted with armoured plate but by the time it was finished, the train had been taken out of service as the Japanese threat was no longer an issue.

List Of Armoured Fighting Vehicles Of World War I
This is a list of combat vehicles of World War I, including conceptual, experimental, prototype, training and production vehicles. The vehicles in this list were either used in combat, produced or designed during the First World War. World War One saw the start of modern armoured warfare with an emphasis on using motor vehicles to provide support to the infantry. Key Tanks Tanks came about as means to break the stalemate of trench warfare. They were developed to break through barbed wire and destroy enemy machine gun posts. The British and the French were the major users of tanks during the war; tanks were a lower priority for Germany as it assumed a defensive strategy. The few tanks that Germany built were outnumbered by the number of French and British tanks captured and reused. ;France ;Germany ;Italy * Ansaldo Turrinelli armoured tortoise * * Fiat 2000 ‡ ;Russia * Mendeleyev tank * * Rybinsk tank † * Vezdekhod † * Vezdekhod II * ;United Kingdom ;United ...
