The Achzarit (אכזרית means cruel girl) is a heavily armored armored personnel carrier/Infantry fighting vehicle manufactured by...

armored armored?

I think we should all be able to agree that 'infantry fighting vehicle/armored personnel carrier' sounds better...--Isis 02:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recommend the reference to Achzarit as an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) be removed. By definition, Achzarit is not an IFV. It lacks sufficent armament to provide fire support for dismounted infantry, and lacks the capability for infantry to fight from inside the vehicle. Achzarit is a heavily armored APC.--Plumbob78 22:50, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree, and it has been done.--Isis 16:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent!--Plumbob78 22:47, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

it says here "Crew 3 + 7 passengers ". actually, in many occasions, there are much more then 10 people inside. there were 13 passengers on my last assignment.
