Terms and Definitions

The Ukraine War refers to a complex and ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, alongside other regional and international actors. The conflict began due to political, ethnic, and cultural disagreements and has resulted in military confrontations and hostilities.

Armored vehicles are essentially armored fighting vehicle, protected by strong, bullet-resistant metal plates or composite armor. These vehicles are used by various branches of the military as well as paramilitary and police forces. There are numerous different types of armored vehicles, including main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and more lightweight armored cars.

A Main Battle Tank (MBT) is the type of large, heavily armored, and heavily armed combat vehicle that forms the backbone of a modern ground-fighting force. MBTs are designed to engage enemy forces using direct fire, and are highly mobile, versatile, and tough.

Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) is a type of armored vehicle designed to carry infantry into battle and provide direct fire support. They are usually armed with a machine gun, automatic cannon, or missile launcher, and are designed to be air-transportable and amphibious.

Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) are armored fighting vehicles designed to transport infantry to the battlefield. They are less heavily armed than an IFV, and are designed more for increased mobility and protection for the troops they are carrying rather than for direct combat.

A lightweight armored car is a military vehicle, protected by armor and typically equipped with weapons, but much smaller, more mobile, and more lightly armored than heavier vehicles like tanks or IFVs. These vehicles are often used for light infantry mobility, internal security, counter-insurgency, and reconnaissance.

Paramilitary refers to organized groups that are similar to a professional military, but are not recognized as such. These forces may have similar training and equipment to a formal military, and in many cases operate alongside or in support of the military.
