		IFVs are similar to armoured personnel carriers (APCs), designed to transport five to ten infantrymen and their equipment.
		IFVs are usually tracked, but some wheeled vehicles fall into this category, too.
		IFVs are mostly much less heavily armed and armoured than Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), but they sometimes carry heavy missiles, such as the NATO \'TOW\' missile and Soviet \'Spigot\' which offer a significant threat to tanks.

		The DARDO armored IFV has been designed to provide infantry support; its armament consists of a 25 mm gun plus two TOW launchers that allow suitable firepower, even against MBTs.
		The "6 vee" engine and the automatic transmission keep the DARDO at the same mobility level of MBTs with which it has to co-operate.
		The 8x8 CENTAURO AFV is a highly mobile and protected vehicle that combines the firepower of a main battle tank, being able to fire NATO tank ammunition, with the speed and agility of a wheeled vehicle.

		An infantry fighting vehicle (IFV, also known as mechanized infantry combat vehicle, MICV) is a type of armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) used to carry infantry into battle and provide fire support for them.
		IFVs are mostly much less heavily armed and armored than Main Battle Tanks (MBTs), but they sometimes carry heavy missiles, such as the NATO 'TOW' missile and Soviet 'Spigot' which offer a significant threat to tanks.
		IFV cannons can elevate their barrels by as much as 70 degrees to permit their crews to engage aircraft.

	60mm HVG Chilean
		The Chilean version disposed the automatic loader, which they felt was too bulky, complex and slow (and unnecessary, given the small size of the rounds, there is the rumour that this system was based on a similar one employed in the soviet BMP1 IFV).
		This required a completely new recoil system, which was subcontracted to the steel manufacturing company MADECO, that had already made many contracts for the Army, and produced the system to full satisfaction of the customer.
		May it be that others can use it successfully, particularly now that many countries are finding its IFVs to be under gunned with only 25mm weapons.

	Infantry Fighting Vehicles - A Global Survey (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The exact definition of what constitutes an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV), also known as Armoured Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV), and most particularly the identification of the sqecific characteristics that differentiate an IFV/AIFV from an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), involves not only semantics and technological aspects but also operational issues.
		The capability for the infantry squad to use their individual weapons from inside the vehicle used to be another discriminating factor, but this feature has since been effectively abandoned.
		Although the MBT companion role remains a very important definying characteristic, IFVs/ AIFVs are increasingly also used on their own.
