Armoured Vehicles

Armoured vehicles are military vehicles that are designed to provide protection to the occupants from enemy fire and other hazards on the battlefield. These vehicles are typically equipped with heavy armor plating, bulletproof glass, and other defensive features that make them highly resistant to damage. Armoured vehicles are used by armies around the world for a variety of purposes, including troop transport, reconnaissance, and combat. The history of armoured vehicles dates back to the early 20th century, when tanks were first developed for use in World War I. Since then, armoured vehicles have undergone significant technological advancements, with modern vehicles featuring advanced communication systems, night vision equipment, and sophisticated weapon systems. Armoured vehicles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small reconnaissance vehicles to massive main battle tanks. Some armoured vehicles are designed to be amphibious, allowing them to cross bodies of water, while others are equipped with advanced suspension systems that allow them to traverse rough terrain with ease. Despite their heavy armor and defensive capabilities, armoured vehicles are not invincible. They can be disabled by enemy fire or immobilized by obstacles on the battlefield. As a result, armoured vehicles are often accompanied by infantry support and other vehicles to provide additional protection and support.
