Description

Over the last two decades of the 20th century, the Israel Defence Force (IDF) introduced a variety of new AFVs.

Old models such as the M48 and M60 were improved beyond recognition, in the form of the Magach 7. The performance of Israel's indigenous Merkava tank was similarly enhanced with new variants and the new Merkava 4 MBT entered service. Israeli infantry also received machines such as the Achzarit assault carrier, the Puma combat engineer vehicle and the Nagmachon and Nakpadon (tank-based carriers intended for low intensity conflicts).

Featuring illustrations, this book examines the design, modification and combat history of these formidable fighting machines.
