Nakpadon or Nikpadon is an Israeli heavy armored personnel carrier (HAPC) based on the Centurion-derived[1] Nagmashot. The creation and development of the Nakpadon started during fighting in Lebanon.[2] It was first introduced during the late 1990s, and it has since served in southern Lebanon, Judea, Samaria, and the Gaza region.
