English

Subject field(s)
  • Tracked Vehicles (Military)
DEF

A vehicle, with or without armor, designed for a specific fighting function.

CONT

These vehicles all have one thing in common, namely a large calibre main gun which would indicate that they are meant to be combat vehicles rather than reconnaissance vehicles.

OBS

Armor protection or armament mounted as supplemental equipment on noncombat vehicles will not change the classification of such vehicles to combat vehicles.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Véhicules chenillés (Militaire)
CONT

Ces véhicules ont ceci de commun qu'ils sont armés d'un canon de gros calibre, ce qui tendrait à les faire considérer davantage comme des véhicules de combat plutôt que comme des véhicules de reconnaissance pure.
