Armored vehicles refer to armored cars, armored personnel carriers, and infantry fighting vehicles, among others. They are military vehicles equipped with weapons and protective armor. Armored personnel carriers are light armored vehicles with a troop-carrying compartment, primarily used for transporting infantry on the battlefield and can also transport materials and equipment. Armored personnel carriers are generally only equipped with machine guns, making their firepower relatively weak. Infantry fighting vehicles are armored combat vehicles designed for infantry's mobile operations. They evolved from armored personnel carriers. Armored personnel carriers typically lack firing ports for the infantry onboard, requiring them to dismount and fight on foot once they reach the battlefield. This makes it difficult for infantry to coordinate with tanks under certain battlefield conditions and exposes them to enemy fire. Self-propelled artillery Self-propelled artillery are artillery pieces integrated with a vehicle chassis, capable of moving on their own. The world's first self-propelled artillery was invented by the French in 1917. Shortly after the invention of tanks in World War I, the French sought to improve the mobility of heavy, towed artillery, enabling rapid repositioning across various terrains. They mounted a field artillery piece on a tracked tank chassis, giving it off-road mobility. However, early self-propelled artillery lacked armor protection and were primarily used for providing fire support to infantry. The world's first armored turret-mounted self-propelled artillery was manufactured by the Germans. Due to their modern features—such as mobility, good protection, automatic loading mechanisms, and high rates of fire—self-propelled artillery are gradually replacing towed artillery in many developed countries' armed forces.
