IDF to equip combat engineering vehicles with Iron Fist active protection against anti-tank threats

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are set to equip their combat engineering vehicles with the Iron Fist active protection system to defend against anti-tank threats. The defensive system is manufactured by Elbit Systems and is specifically designed for the protection of armored fighting vehicles and engineering vehicles.

The integration of the Iron Fist system enhances the survivability of engineering units operating in high-threat environments. By utilizing active protection technology, the vehicles gain an increased capability to intercept and neutralize incoming anti-tank weaponry before it can impact the chassis.
