Israel’s Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that it recently delivered the first series of the new advanced Eitan armored personnel carriers (APCs) to the IDF’s Nachal Brigade.

The lightweight eight-wheeled 750-horsepower Eitan APC can carry 12 soldiers and drive at 90 kilometers per hour (56 mph), has high all-terrain maneuverability, and can continuously operate during several days of combat.

Following the delivery of the APCs, Nachal soldiers engaged in a training drill in northern Israel, simulating various combat scenarios on the Eitan APCs, as seen in the video below.
