Infanterikanonvagn

Infanterikanonvagn, also known as Infantry Gun Car, is a type of armored vehicle designed to provide direct fire support to infantry units. It combines the mobility of a light armored vehicle with the firepower of a mounted gun, typically a cannon or an automatic cannon. These vehicles are often used in infantry support roles, providing close-range fire support to ground troops.

The primary role of an Infanterikanonvagn is to engage enemy infantry, light armored vehicles, and other soft targets. They are typically equipped with a stabilized gun mount, allowing for accurate fire while the vehicle is in motion. The crew usually consists of a driver and a gunner, with some variants having a commander or additional crew members for specialized roles.

Infanterikanonvagns are often used in modern armies to enhance the firepower of infantry units, allowing them to engage targets that are beyond the range of their personal weapons. They can also provide protection for the infantry, shielding them from enemy fire while they move to their positions. The vehicles are typically light enough to be transported by helicopters or other light aircraft, further enhancing their mobility and flexibility.

The design of Infanterikanonvagns varies depending on the specific requirements of the user. Some are based on existing light armored vehicles, while others are purpose-built for the role. They can be equipped with a range of weapons, from 20mm automatic cannons to 105mm smoothbores, depending on the intended use. The vehicles are also equipped with various sensors and communication systems to enhance their situational awareness and interoperability with other units.
