All General Armored Fighting Vehicles

This group collects the Armored Vehicles subcategory's members attested only as a general armored or armoured fighting vehicle, without a weapon-class value specific enough to place them in the Tanks, Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Armored Personnel Carriers, or Armored Cars and Reconnaissance Vehicles groups: wheeled, tracked and amphibious armored fighting vehicle families and multi-purpose armored platforms whose own attested description does not commit to a narrower role. Its 10 members are a genuine residual category defined by the vagueness of their own weapon-class attestation rather than a shared vehicle role; a future depth lane that narrows one of these vehicles' weapon-class value to a specific role can move it into the matching sibling group.
