FINALLY : In combat, Israeli forces employ their most recent Eitan 8X8 panzer.

In the most recent development in the ground conflict between Israeli troops and Hamas militants, images of the IDF's (Israel Defense troops) cutting-edge Eitan 8X8 tank being used for combat operations in the Gaza Strip have been made public. It should be mentioned that June of last year was the first time the Eitan APC (armored personnel carrier) was put into production. The Directorate of Merkava and Armored Vehicles at IMOD started working on the vehicle in 2016. The obsolete M113 'chain' armored personnel carrier, which is too vulnerable to be revived, is to be replaced with this heavyweight APC panser. The Eitan is a next-generation combat vehicle with an electronic active passive system and a traditional passive combination armor module. The Eitan can survive fire from guns with a 14.5 mm caliber thanks to its STANAG 4569 category IV ballistic protection. The vehicle has a 750 horsepower MTU 890 turbo diesel engine and weighs around 35 tons. It has an operating range of 1,000 km and a maximum speed of 90 km/h. Three people operate the vehicle: the commander, the driver, and the gunner, in addition to eight armed soldiers. As a combat and offensive weapon, the Eitan's remote-controlled weapon module (RCWS) is fitted with a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. The Israeli army's Namer chain-wheeled armored personnel carrier will be accompanied by the Eitan APC. #israelpalestineconflict #artillery #aitan88
