The RAM brand of Israel has gained extensive combat experience, with their military vehicles and weapons being prominent in arsenals worldwide.The RAM Mk3 AT is an armored vehicle capable of withstanding 7.62mm bullets, its chassis able to withstand light bomb blasts or various shrapnel. It serves multiple purposes depending on the configuration of the purchasing unit.

The surveillance camera, controllable from within the cabin, serves as the 'eye' in situations demanding comprehensive external observation.

The RAM Mk3 is equipped with air conditioning, featuring 3 sunroofs; however, these are typically designated areas for deploying additional attachments such as guns or missiles.
