IDF's new wheeled APC finishes first round of operational
testing
The new Eitan is the first wheeled APC to be used by the IDF
and includes advanced defense systems such as the Trophy
active protection system and hi-tech armor designed to
protect against anti-tank missiles.
The Eitan was subject to months of grueling tests in varying
terrain at IDF training bases in the Negev and Jordan Valley.
"The Eitan brings both strong resilience and lethality to the
battlefield," project head Maj. Sharon Guetta told Ynet. "The
vehicle can reach speeds of 90km/h, but its purpose is
obviously to enable a fighting force to safely arrive at the
target area."
The Eitan has enough space for 12 soldiers—including the
commander, gunner and driver—who will enjoy more
comfortable seating (as opposed to the old APCs), a "softer"
ride, air conditioning and touch-screen systems offering a
360-degree view of the battle space.
The APC comes equipped with a variety of joystick-
controlled weapons systems, including an FN MAG, a .50
caliber heavy machine and a 30mm cannon with a range of
2,500 meters. The offensive capabilities are meant to be
anti-personnel and anti-material in nature in order to protect
the soldiers within.
The heavier 'Namer' APC will also be equipped with the
30mm cannon in order to provide forces an alternative,
more flexible option than a tank shell.
Currently, the Eitan project is in the final stages of
operational approval by the IDF and the chief of staff will
review a timetable and decide on the scope of the new
APC's use. In the short term however, the Nahal Brigade will
continue to operate the Eitan, including in new deployment
zones, in order to identify any potential deficiencies.
