Nagmashot and Nagmachon is a heavily armoured infantry fighting vehicle fielded by the Israel Defence Forces. The Nagmachon evolved from the NagmaShot APC, which in turn was based on Centurion Sho't hulls from the 1970s and 1980s. The vehicle carries thick belly armour designed to withstand mine-blasts and mountings on the front hull for various engineering devices such as mine plows, mine rollers and dozer blades. Early Nagmachons were equipped with three armoured shields to give soldiers firing the mounted FN general-purpose machine guns some degree of protection from small arms fire. Later Nagmachons were fitted a distinctive raised superstructure, sometimes referred to as a 'doghouse'. The raised superstructure and increased mine protection have made the Nagmachon an ideal platform for counter-insurgency and urban operations, seeing much use in the al-Aqsa Intifada within the occupied territories and southern Lebanon in 2006. It is often used as an engineering vehicle and a carrier for sappers, although its main role has been to carry infantry.

The Nagmachon is a modern Israeli tracked infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The drive is provided by a single motor ADVS-1790-2AC with a power of 750 hp. The car is armed with two 7.62 mm FN MAG machine guns.
Nagmachon was created to replace the M-113 vehicles in the Israeli army and as a development of the concept presented in the Nagma-Shot vehicle. It is characterized by an amazing, for a vehicle of this class, cover of the crew members and landing troops (max. 10 people). It has powerful armor, probably based on the experience gained from the exploitation of Merkava tanks, and great anti-mine protection. In the first production batches, the machine guns had a classic armor made of thin metal, but in later versions, a special "casemate" appeared in the middle of the fuselage, providing much better protection for the soldiers serving the armament of the vehicle. It is assumed that the Nagmachon vehicles are currently one of the best prepared for asymmetric IFV operations in the world. They are also fantastic for operation in urban areas. They were used by the Israeli army, including in the final phase of the Second Intifada (2000-2005) and in southern Lebanon in 2006.
