History of the IDF Achzarit vehicle

The Achzarit is a heavy armored infantry carrier used by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). This vehicle was developed in the 1980s in response to the need to provide soldiers with better protection during operations in urban areas, such as Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. Achzarit vehicles are based on Soviet T-54/T-55 tanks, which were converted after modernization into carriers with increased resistance to gunfire and explosives. Achzarits were used by the IDF mainly during operations in the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century, belonging to both the Cold War and modern eras.
