IDF APC Innovation

APC's in the IDF are used as armored transport and fighting vehicles.

The IDF mainly uses 2 APC Platforms the M-113, which was first imported from the USA in 1972 as part of the Yom Kippur war aid program, and the Merkava (Israeli Centurion Tank platform).




The IDF M-113 has undergone various upgrades, in order to improve its resistance to hazardous materials, and to protect it from anti-tank fire, IEDs, and machine-gun fire and to enable the APC to participate in urban warfare.
