Achzarit
The Achzarit (Hebrew for "cruel woman"...) is an original Israeli APC. The
Achzarit is actually a T-54 or T-55 MBT, which the IDF had captured by the
hundred in the 1967 and 1973 wars. The turret was removed, and accommodation
for troops was added. The Achzarit is probably one of the world's best
armored APC's.
By the way, the Russian Army has recently adopted the Achzarit model - and it
is now converting T-55 and T-54 tanks to the BTR-T APC.

Puma
Another example of a MBT converted to APC. Sh'ot (Centurion) tanks were
converted to armored personnel carriers for the Israeli Combat Engineer
Corps. The Puma's role is to provide protection and fire support for the
Engineers as they clear paths through minefields.
