About the Vehicle:
The M48 Chaparral was an Israeli-adapted version of the American self-propelled surface-to-air missile system. Mounted on an M548 carrier, it was equipped with modified Sidewinder missiles designed for ground-to-air engagement. Highly effective at short to medium range, the Chaparral gave the Israeli Defence Force the ability to counter enemy air threats while keeping pace with mechanised and armoured formations. Its speed, accuracy, and proven reliability made it a critical element of Israel’s Cold War-era air defense network.
