	IDF Achzarit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Achzarit is based on the Soviet-built T-54/T-55 tank, beginning with those captured from Arab armies during the Israeli-Arab wars.
		Achzarit APCs are in service with the IDF Golani Brigade, which operates near the Lebanese border and in the northern part of the West Bank.
		Achzarit APCs took part in Operation Rainbow in Rafah, after a comparatively lightly-armored M-113 APC was destroyed by an RPG round.

		The chassis of the Achzarit is based on heavily modified Russian T-54/T-55 MBT chassis which have been rebuilt in significant numbers by the Israel Defence Force for some years.
		Standard equipment for the Achzarit includes a fire detection and suppression system, individual NBC system and the vehicle can also lay a smoke screen by injecting diesel fuel into its exhaust outlet on the left side of the hull.

	Golani Brigade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Golani Brigade's equipment includes a number of heavy IDF Achzarit armored personnel carriers, which is built around a remanufactured T-55 tank chassis with a new 850-hp engine.
		The Achzarit is a very heavily-armored vehicle designed for the requirements of urban fighting, after Israeli M-113 APCs proved insufficiently armored against car bombs, mines, and rocked-propelled grenades.
		Golani's recon company or Sayeret Golani is one of the most respected SF units in the IDF with one of the most difficult training regimens that begins in an area known as area 100 in the upper Galilee.

	T-55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Israelis designated these Tiran-5 medium tanks, and they were used by reserve units until the early 1990s.
		Most of them were then sold to assorted Third World countries, some of them in Latin America, and the rest were heavily modified, converted into heavy armoured personnel carriers designated the IDF Achzarit.
		China sold thousands of the Type 69 tanks to both Iran and Iraq during their war in the 1980s.

	Military : Hail Eris, Man
		This Israeli afv is the "Achzarit" (hebrew for "Cruel Woman"?).
		The Achzarit is a "recycled" vehicle, based on the Russian T-55, many of which were captured in Israel's conflicts with its Soviet backed Arab neighbors.
		(the ramp is very narrow, though) The Achzarit's success may have inspired the Russians to modify some of their own T-55's to create a similar vehicle, known as the BTR-T.

		The whole second half of the book is devoted to the T54/T55 based ACHZARIT APC and is worth the price of the book alone with the first half just being a bonus.
		The remaining photos are again all two to a page for good detail with informative captions and show the Achzarit on various training maneuvers.

		The prototype was developed as the own initial of UKBTM and uses the T-72/90 tank chassis.
		The purpose of the vehicle differs from the Achzarit and
		The task of BMPT (in the constructors’ assumption) is not safe transport of infantries in the terrain threatened by direct enemy anti-tank fire or in areas where operations of typical infantry transport mediums are impeded (urban area, mountains).

		Foe those few who are not aware of thes vehicles the Achzarit is a reworking of the T55 hull to create an APC with tank-like levels of protection.
		It is analogous to the Achzarit but is basde upon the Centurion hull.
		The primary difference is that the Jordanians have reworked the gearing and drive sprockets so that the vehicle is reversed so that as per the Merkava the engine is at the front.

		Instead of having all fl and white photographs and a colour plate section in the middle of the book, most photographs are in colour and the plates relating to each vehicle can be found within the appropriate text section.
		The only exception is the Achzarit cutaway plate, which is in the usual position on the centre pages.
		This new layout is a vast improvement, and even if colour photographs aren’t available for all future subjects I hope that future books will follow it as far as possible.

		The Golani Brigade is using a different vehicle, the Achzarit Infantry Armored Fighting Vehicle (AIFV) which is based on a modified T-55 chassis.
		Further additions to the IDF order of battle are the introduction of armored wheeled vehicles, these will probably be the new 8x8 Stryker APC currently being procured for the US Army but the IDF decision has yet to be made.

		A similar concept, the Russian BMP-4, uses a T-54 chassis, to deploy troops to high threat environment combat.

		While using variations of the M113 for many years, the IDF needed a vehicle with better battlefield survivability.
		While they experimented with a modified Bradley and adaptations of the Merkava chassis, they ultimately developed the Achzarit, an effective APC based upon the numerous T-54 and T-55 tanks 'donated' over the years.
		The title is well-illustrated with fl and white and color photography, cut-away diagrams, and color profiles.
