ACV AAPC

The ACV AAPC (Advanced Armored Personnel Carrier) is a Turkish-made tracked armored personnel carrier, part of the ACV-15 family. It is designed to provide protected transport for infantry and can be configured for various battlefield roles.

Developed by FNSS Savunma Sistemleri in the late 1980s to meet the Turkish Land Forces' requirement for a highly mobile infantry transport, the vehicle was derived from the American Advanced Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AIFV) design. It officially entered service in 1992, quickly becoming a cornerstone of Turkey's mechanized infantry units. The platform has seen extensive combat deployment in domestic counter-terrorism operations, international peacekeeping missions in the Balkans, and cross-border operations in northern Syria. Today, the vehicle remains in active service with Turkey and several export nations, currently undergoing modernization programs to upgrade its armor, electronics, and survivability.
