The Wolf Armoured Vehicle (

four-by-four.^[3]

Creation

Concept and purchase

The idea for the Wolf was born from the need of transporting soldiers safely during missions in an urban environment, and in peacekeeping missions. Recently^[when?] the Israeli Ministry of Defense ordered 150 Wolf Armoured Vehicles from Rafael Advanced Defense Systems^[4] and an order for Carmor, for some to be used in urban combat. This is currently in production as of 2019. The vehicle's first reported use was by the Israel Defense Forces in Operation Bringing Home the Goods^[5] on 14 March 2006.

Build

The Wolf consists of a

Remote Weapon Station (RWS) which allows the occupants to engage enemies without exposure.^[6]

The Wolf is a multiroled truck. Its main purpose is for infantry transport, however, some vehicles may be transformed specifically as an ambulance.[7]

Design

The vehicle is completely protected, including the wheels, which have

stretch beds, if necessary. The doors are designed for a quick getaway. Most of the original parts were kept, with the only notable changes being the rear axle and tires.^[7]
