The IDF has also, in recent years, added a protected vertical extension to some of its Nagmachon APCs and dubbed the conversions Mifletset (Monster)

Agreed..., I think its based on their experience in Urban WarfareThe Achzarit apc, is based on t-54/55 mbt chasis that was captured from the egyptians during the last war. It seems to me the israelis too (like the pinoy in previous topic) good at recyling & upgrading :ah: Hope MY will follow this trend.. How about Merkava 1, 2 & 3? upgraded to Merk 4 standard, put in storage, retired, sold? Originally posted by Debmey at 27-5-2006 03:07 PM

Then buy the whole truckload of 'em. Besides, SG is one of the top foreign Israeli military export. Originally posted by jazim at 27-5-2006 08:01 PM

No lah, they can still be used by reserve units. They have lots of reserve units. Originally posted by ef/x at 27-5-2006 07:08 PMAgreed..., I think its based on their experience in Urban Warfare

Not advisable to upgrade M113.
I think its not worth it. The mechanism and engine sucks big time. Singapore modify the M113 only for support roles such as anti aircraft platform and make a new APC.
golani brigade equipments
halo..we cant deny that israel-made weapon systems are considered one of the best in the world.im not saying they are the best..they are one of the best.and bear in mind no weapon system is perfect.ok enuf with that.i'd like to discuss with u guys bout the equipment used by their elite 'Golani' brigade in urban warfare.the concept is very interesting..here goes..
IDF Achzarit
The Achzarit (אכזרית in Hebrew: "cruel woman") is a heavily armored armored personnel carrier manufactured by the Israeli Defence Forces Corps of Ordnance.
Rear view of an AchzaritThe Achzarit is based on the Soviet-built T-54/T-55 tank, beginning with those captured from Arab armies during the Israeli-Arab wars. The IDF took the old T-55 tank and removed its turret. The chassis was modified for troop carriage by adding a troop compartment and a rear door. The original Soviet-made water-cooled diesel engine was replaced with a more compact and powerful diesel engine, and other internal systems were upgraded. Reactive armor was installed over the original armored tank chassis.
The Achzarit Mk 1 has a 650-hp engine, while the Mk 2 has an 850-hp engine.
It is armed with 7.62 mm machine guns, including one machine gun controlled from within the cabin, developed by the Israeli Armament Development Authority (Rafael).
Because of its heavy armor, the Achzarit is sometimes called a heavy APC (HAPC). 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.

dont u think it suits urban battlefield well?it was developed by IDF based on their experience..having an APC which is based on a tank chasis can provide better protection for the soldier..at least better than normal APC..i guess.remember our Condor in Bakara Street..where one of our soldier dier bcoz of RPG.. in this achzarit the driver is better protected bcoz its jz the same as the tank driver..in my opinion la...
In malaysian perspective..our built-up area is getting bigger..mybe in the future we might end up in a conflict jz like what's happening in the middle east rite now..having a tank regiments which are supported by infantry escort in the same chasis is great isnt it..n it'll be easier in terms of maintainance n spareparts...
what do u guys think? APC ni la yg aku dok tgk dlm CNN tuh..nampak mantap.. ada rupa macam BMP apc russia tak
http://warfare.ru/?linkid=2304&catid=245&image=987 lagi satu yang menarik tentang armoured vehicle IDF ni..merkava tank die bleh bwk 1 section..rmai tuh,cmne bleh letak dlm tank tuh.tank ni jgk ade 1 mortar 60mm on board...tinggi btul firepowernye yeh..
dgr cite merkave 5 nak pkai 140mm...
