在整个冷战时代,装甲战斗车辆遇到的主要威胁来自反坦克导弹和坦克炮。而在目前及未来的非对称作战中,它们面临的最致命威胁则是火箭弹和简易爆炸装置。尽管还不能准确预见到5年以后可能遇到的威胁,更不用说25年以后,但是具有技术实力的军队都在发展主动防护系统,以具备对动能和化学能弹药的全面防护能力。 Throughout the Cold War era, the main threats to armored combat vehicles came from anti-tank missiles and tank guns. In the present and future asymmetrical operations, the most deadly threats they face are rockets and improvised explosive devices. Although it is not yet possible to accurately predict the threats that may occur after five years, let alone 25 years from now, armed forces with technological capabilities are developing proactive protection systems to provide full protection against kinetic and chemical ammunition.
