For anyone who doesn't get the significance, these crazy cats took out a modern main battle tank with an armored personnel carrier. That's like if the Bismark was sunk by the Titanic.
Infantry Fighting Vehicle not APC.
Still impressive since they liked with the autocannon instead of the anti tank missiles M2 can be equiped for that purpose.
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.
