tank destroyer
A tank destroyer is a type of armored fighting vehicle equipped with a large-caliber cannon or gun and specifically designed to engage and destroy enemy armored vehicles, particularly tanks. Tank destroyers are often characterized by their superior firepower and mobility compared to ordinary tanks, but usually lack the protection and all-around functionality. These vehicles primarily serve in defensive roles on the battlefield.

Tank destroyer
A tank destroyer is a type of armored fighting vehicle armed with a gun or missile launcher, and is designed specifically to engage enemy armored vehicles. Many have been based on a tracked tank chassis, while others are wheeled. Since World War II, main battle tanks have largely replaced gun-armed tank destroyers although lightly armored anti tank guided missile carriers are commonly used for supplementary long-range anti-tank work. However, the resurgence of expeditionary warfare in the past twenty years has seen the emergence of gun-armed wheeled vehicles, sometimes called protected gun systems, which may bear a superficial resemblance to tank destroyers, but are employed as direct fire support units typically providing support in low-intensity operations such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
