Las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel (IDF) emplean por primera vez en combate el VCI 8×8 \u201cEitan\u201d, en las operaciones que se llevan a cabo contra Hamas en la Franja de Gaza. Este VCI a ruedas 8×8 pesa 35 tn y puede llevar 12 soldados incluyendo la tripulaci\u00f3n. Su blindaje es adecuado para un VCI de esa categor\u00eda, complementando la supervivencia de la tripulaci\u00f3n con un Sistema de Protecci\u00f3n Activa (APS- Iron Fist). Estos VCI combaten en primera l\u00ednea junto con los tanques Merkava IV que tambi\u00e9n desarroll\u00f3 y produce Israel. El primer Lote de Eitan entr\u00f3 en servicio en el 1er semestre del 2023, por lo que las lecciones aprendidas de su empleo y desempe\u00f1o en este conflicto armado de gran intensidad en \u00e1mbito urbano, ser\u00e1n de enorme utilidad para esa fuerza.<\/p>\n

This is the first combat use of this Israeli armored fighting vehicle.<\/p>\n

The first mass-produced Eitan armored fighting vehicles entered service with the Israeli army this spring.<\/p>\n

Eitan<\/strong>\u00a0is an 8-wheeled armored fighting vehicle weighing up to 35 tons. The vehicle has a maximum speed of 90 km\/h and can carry twelve people, including three crew members. The armor of the vehicle is STANAG 4569 level 4. The AFV is equipped with the Iron Fist Light Decoupled active protection system.<\/p>\n

The armored fighting vehicle can be armed with a large-caliber machine gun or automatic guns and ATGMs.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military\u00a0received<\/a>\u00a0the first production of Eitan armored fighting vehicles in May 2023. Before that, the brigade soldiers who received these vehicles practiced various scenarios for using the new armored fighting vehicles.<\/p>\n

Such designs should further strengthen the protection of Israeli tanks, in particular, from drone attacks on the top of the vehicle, where their thinnest armor is located.<\/p>\n
