The Puma is a heavily armored Combat
engineering vehicle and armored personnel carrier that the Engineering Corps of
the Israeli Defence
Forces has used since the early
1990s. The vehicle can carry a crew of up to eight. The 50-ton vehicle's speed
is 45 kilometers an hour.
The Puma uses the hull of the Sho't,
which is itself a modified British Centurion tank.
Some Pumas are equipped with the
Carpet mine-clearing system. This consists of 20 rockets that the crew can fire
singly or all together. The rockets contain a fuel-air explosive warhead which
spreads a cloud of fuel fumes that are then detonated. The overpressure from
the explosion destroys most mines. The Puma then advances behind a set of
rollers that trigger any mines the fuel-air explosion did not destroy. There is
also electronic equipment for detonating roadside bombs or jamming detonation
signals.
The Puma is capable of towing a mobile bridge for deploying over trenches and enemy land obstacles during battle. Unlike the M60 AVLB launching the bridge, the Puma pulls the bridge during combat and pushes the bridge over the obstacle, allowing tanks and infantry personnel carriers to maneuver quickly in the battlefield.
