I'd rate the PBV-302 as a very early IFV, though the infantry was never 
supposed to fight from the vehicle - they debussed before attacking. I'm

not sure if the term "IFV" (or MICV, ICV, etc.) had been invented at the

time (mid-late '60s), though :-/ "PBV" is the Swedish acronym for
"Armoured 
Tracked Vehicle"; it doesn't indicate the tactical role of the vehicle.
