APCs are fundamentally different from the previously used armoured half-tracks in that they offer a higher level of protection from artillery burst fragments, and greater mobility in more terrain types.

The level of armour protection between AFVs varies greatly-a main battle tank will normally be designed to take hits from other tank guns and anti-tank missiles, whilst light reconnaissance vehicles are often only armoured " just in case ".

* Light tanks-small, thinly armoured, weakly gunned ; superior Tactical / Strategic mobility tanks intended for the armoured reconnaissance role ; many are losing favor to cheaper, faster, lighter armoured cars.

While tanks are seen as being integral to armoured warfare, in forces with a remit of power projection deployability has always been a consideration, which conventional main battle tanks cannot provide.

Some tanks and armoured vehicles are transportable by helicopter, dropped by parachute, or carried by air transport.

Modern self-propelled artillery vehicles may superficially resemble tanks, but they are generally lightly armoured, too lightly to survive in direct-fire combat.

However, they protect their crews against shrapnel and small arms and are therefore usually included as armoured fighting vehicles.

Both regiments are, presently, armoured units.

IFVs are similar to armoured personnel carriers ( APCs ), designed to transport a section or squad of infantry ( generally between five and ten men ) and their equipment.

IFVs are generally much less heavily armed and armoured than main battle tanks, but they sometimes carry missiles, such as the NATO TOW missile and Soviet Bastion which offer a significant threat to tanks.

Infantry fighting vehicles are typically well armoured, although usually with less protection than main battle tanks.

The term heavy infantry fighting vehicle is often applied to IFVs that are heavily armoured.
