    Yeah, that’s the official name, but I’ll stick to the APC designation. It carries troops. It’s armored. It does not have a tank-level main gun. It’s an armored personnel carrier. A good one, but an APC, none the less.

      I disagree. APCs and IFVs have different roles. APCs are just troop taxis. IFVs carry troops and fight alongside them or can do scouting actions like this one.
