The first Tracked Rapiers entered service with 11 ( Sphinx ) Air Defence Battery, of 22 Air Defence Regiment, Royal Artillery in 1983 in Napier Barracks near Dortmund.

After initially entering service, the Tracked Rapiers were upgraded several times to follow the upgrades being introduced to all Rapier systems.

Tracked rapier was retired in the late 1980s as the requirement for anti-air support to keep up with an armoured assault against the Warsaw Pact was defunct.

However, the chiefs of staff involved in planning operation Desert Storm ( Gulf War I ) required anti-air units to accompany the Challenger equipped armoured regiments, and a handful of Tracked Rapiers were bought back from civilian collections and removed from display outside army camps and pressed back into service with the latest Rapier missile systems.

Many forces ' IFVs carry anti-tank missiles in every infantry platoon, and attack helicopters have also added anti-tank capability to the modern battlefield.

Specially-equipped IFVs have taken on some of the roles of light tanks ; they are used by reconnaissance organizations, and light IFVs are used by airborne units which must be able to fight without the heavy firepower of tanks.

IFVs also often have improved armour and some have firing ports ( allowing the infantry to fire personal weapons while mounted ).

Since then, all major military powers have developed or adopted IFVs.

IFVs have an egress for dismounts.

Generally, IFVs have thinner and less complex armour than tanks to ensure mobility.

The sides, roof, and floor of IFVs have thinner armour.

Most IFVs also have smoke grenade dischargers for concealment.

In this case wheeled vehicles would either have to take another route ( leaving the tanks without IFV support and the IFVs without tank protection ) or the tanks would have to stay where the wheeled IFVs can go and drastically limit their own tactical mobility.

Many IFVs were also equipped with firing ports from which their infantry could fire their weapons from inside, although these were generally not successful and have been dropped from modern IFVs.

However, facing a similar threat in Post-invasion Iraq to that which prompted the Russians to convert tanks to APCs, the occupying armies have found it necessary to apply extra armor to existing APCs and IFVs, which adds to the overall size and weight.

Most tanks and infantry fighting vehicles ( IFVs ) of the 21st century have specially designed nuclear, biological and chemical protective systems that make them internally air-tight and sealed ; they are well protected from vapors, gases, and liquids.
