The article explores the growing popularity of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) around the world. The U.S. military has used the General Dynamics family of Strykers in Iraq and the mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicle in Afghanistan. In Israel, IFVs are used to police the occupied territories and hybrid warfare in Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. Italy is going to replace a number of its tracked vehicles with wheeled vehicles such as the Freccia and the medium-protected VTMM.
