The IDF is set to receive 20 advanced "Tigerbulance" armored ambulances, which will provide advanced medical care to soldiers deep within enemy territory.

These vehicles, equipped with the latest medical technology, are designed to evacuate wounded soldiers even under fire, according to a recent press release. 

This decision to integrate the "Tigerbulance" into the IDF follows lessons learned from the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and addresses the need for evacuation solutions that combine safety, immediate medical intervention, and continued care until the injured soldiers reach a hospital.

The goal, as outlined in the press release, is to ensure that soldiers receive prompt medical attention in a secure, armored environment directly on the battlefield. This approach aims to reduce the severity of injuries and increase survival rates in critical situations.

The "Tigerbulance" was developed through a collaboration between Shefer-Bar Industries, a division of the Yossi Ambulance Group, and Israeli defense manufacturer Plasan. This partnership combines operational medical expertise with advanced vehicle armor engineering.
