Identify this vehicle.

Link

The vehicle I want to identify is the bottom right. At first it look to me like a modified M113 armored personnel vehicle. But I'm certain its not, for the treads are not evenly distributed like the M113 Gavin.

It looks like a bridge laying vehicle of some sort. Not sure about that though.

Look like something used for clearing landmines. They're called 'Flailers' or 'Flail Tanks' sometimes.

Here's a few examples. That sort of equipment is not something that's standardized IIRC, they're all pretty much custom built for the task.












edit: planeman figured it out, o well.

It's an Israeli "Achzarit" heavy APC which is a rebuild of the Centurian MBT chassis. Because the engine is in the rear of the chassis, the troops have to exit out of a sort of ramp set up which is the triangular bit at the back.

Good info on it: www.israeli-weapons.com...

Planeman isn't Achzarit based on a T-54/55, with new engines and redesigned interiors?

Puma is Based on Sho't (a modified centurion)...



The big vehicles in the background are Armoured Catepillar D9s (possibly D10)

Yep you are right. Sorry for giving duff info. i'm easily confused. It's still a Achzarit though.
