Historical description of the Nagmashot vehicle

The Nagmashot was created in the 1980s, during the Cold War period, as an Israeli conversion of the Centurion tank (locally known as Sho’t) into a reinforced armored personnel carrier. The conversion of Centurion tanks withdrawn from frontline service involved significantly reinforcing the armor of the crew and engine compartments, adapting the vehicle for transporting infantry soldiers on a battlefield with a high anti-tank weapon threat, especially during operations in Lebanon.
The Nagmashot APCs were intensively used during the Lebanon intervention in 1982 and subsequent local conflicts, and their distinctive silhouette has become a permanent feature of the Middle Eastern landscape.
