Nagmasho’t Platoon (x5 Tanks)

After the fighting in Lebanon in 1982 it was decided that the M113 APC did not offer enough protection. Work started on convert-ing Centurion Sho’t (Whip) hulls into heavily armoured personnel carriers. The resulting design became the Nagmasho’t (Hebrew for Armoured Personnel Carrier Sho’t).

The Nagmasho’t had a surprisingly brief development period and the first operational exam-ples were in service by 1984. The Nagmasho’t replaced the turret with a pyramidal casemate. There are two circular hatches at the front of the casemate roof which are hinged in the rear, and two rectangular hatches at the rear which hinged to the front, allowing four soldiers to stand in the hatches to observe all around them.

A rail system around the top of the casement allowed a variety of weapons to be attached and moved around. Usually these consisted of a .50 cal machine-gun, a 40mm Mk19 grenade launcher and a pair of 7.62mm FN MAG machine-guns.
