Rhino
The Rhino is a modernized version of the American M47 MBT. Large numbers of M47's were sent to Israel through foriegn aid programs, these were upgraded during the 1970's and can still be found in use with reserve units of the Israeli military. The improvement program replaced the engine, fuel tanks and gun bringing the vehicle to a standard similar to the M60 MBT.

Hunnicutt's Patton book mentions a M47RKM
Any good walkaround pics of that one? In an Israeli museum maybe?
Cheers,
