TIFV-AAPC (Turkish Infantry Fighting Vehicle)
Notes: This vehicle was just entering Turkish service at the end of the 1990s. It is not, in the strictest sense, an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, despite its name, as it has neither heavy caliber armament nor antitank missiles. The TIFV is based on the AIFV, but with a different turret and armament. The AAPC (Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier) is the most common version of the TIFV, with a turret mounting an M-2HB and MAG machinegun.
The TIFV-AIFV is basically the AIFV, but with a smaller 1-man turret and other minor changes, primarily in the engine, fuel tank, and fire control system.
The TIFV CPV is a command post variant of the TIFV, similar in concept to the AIFV CPV, with at least three radios, a battle management computer, wireless LAN, GPS, a map board, a folding table with three chairs, and a chest with drawers and office supplies. An attached tent can be erected at the rear to increase working space, and a 5kW generator is available to power radios and the computer when the engine is off. The vehicle may or may not include air conditioning, but all have heating.
