		Leonardo's machine was undoubtedly an AFV, but the development of the modern AFV only became possible towards the end of the 19th century with the production of hardened steels and the invention of the internal combustion engine.
		At this point the need for a vehicle invulnerable to machine-gun fire which could cross lines of barbed wire and trenches was recognized by such men as Lt Col Ernest Swinton and Winston Churchill and led to the development of the tank and subsequent variations of the armoured fighting vehicle.

	Blast Resistant Vehicles - RG-31 Nyala - Nyala APV - Armoured Patrol Vehicle - Casualties and Limitations - Future ...
		The limitations of a vehicle type must be understood and escalation by opponents anticipated and countered.
		The reason for the vulnerability of South African blast-resistant vehicles to direct fire are obvious – the design has been skewed almost entirely to protection from landmines.
		The upper hull reflects the police duties of the original vehicles – large armour-glass windows line the sides and the thin armour plating is nearly vertical (thus offering little protection from full-sized rifle bullets let alone larger calibres).

	Juno Beach Centre - Armoured Fighting Vehicles
		Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFV) had originally been conceived as a means to defeat the barbed-wire and machine-guns that had robbed infantry of their mobility and imposed the static, trench warfare of 1914-1918.
		The Sherman, meanwhile, was designed in keeping with American armoured doctrine, which established that the main purpose of the tank was to disrupt enemy infantry and communications.
		Heavy armour and a powerful gun were needed to stand up to the latest German tanks, and the standard Sherman had neither.

	equipment heavy moving
		A tank is characterised by heavy weapons and armour, as well as by a high degree of mobility that allows it to cross rough terrain at relatively high speeds.
		While tanks are expensive to operate and logistically demanding, they are among the most formidable and versatile weapons of the modern battlefield, both for their ability to engage other ground targets and their shock value against infantry.
		Without such support, tanks, despite their armour and mobility, are vulnerable to infantry, mines, artillery, and air power.

	Anti-tank firepower
		The development in armour protection that has taken place in recent years and especially during the 90s has raised serious questions about the effectiveness of many existing anti-tank guns and anti-tank guided weapons.
		Vulnerable to interference and with penetration capability that has difficulty keeping up with developments in armour protection is symptomatic of a weakness that calls for a remedy.
		But with the introduction of supplementary armour, explosive reactive armour (ERA), inert reactive armour (IRA), multi-layer armour and other forms of special armour, it has become doubtful whether man-portable, medium- range, anti-tank weapons have the capacity to penetrate the protecting armour with enough residual (behind armour) effect.

	Armoured recovery vehicle at AllExperts
		An armoured recovery vehicle (ARV) is a type of armoured fighting vehicle used to repair battle-damaged or broken-down armoured vehicles during combat, or to tow them off the battlefield for more extensive repairs.
		ARVs are usually built on the basis of a vehicle in the same class as they are supposed to recoverâ"thus, a tank-based ARV is used to recover tanks, while an APC-based one recovers APCs, but does not have the power to tow a much heavier tank.
		Many of the latter type of ARV had an A-frame or crane to allow the vehicle's crew to perform heavy lifting tasks such as removing the engine from a disabled tank.
