Historical and Technical Information

The Achzarit armored personnel carrier was developed in Israel in the 1980s based on captured Soviet T-55 tanks. The main goal of the modernization was to create vehicles exceptionally resistant to gunfire and mines for infantry during conflicts in the Middle East. Intensively used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the first Achzarit units participated, among others, in Operation Peace for Galilee as well as later actions in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon, often being a key component of Israeli mechanized forces from the late 1980s until the present day.
