The Tank Administration in the Israeli Ministry of Defense (MANTAK), together with the IDF Ground Arm, are continuing to develop the Eitan, the future wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) of the IDF.

During the last few days, the Eitan APC completed a series of field tests, which took place in southern Israel, as well as in the Golan Heights.

The Eitan will weigh 30-35 tons, have a 750 horsepower engine, and be able to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h on paved roads, according to IMOD. The APC variant will be able to carry 12 personnel, including the commander, driver, and gunner.
