The technology of the D9R – Israel sends combat bulldozers with machine guns into Gaza

Date:

The house-to-house war has begun: in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli forces are carrying out their ground offensive against Hamas, which is armed to the teeth, entrenched in tunnels and fighting with guerrilla methods. But war-hardened Israelis have a proven secret weapon for the coming battles in urban areas: a combat bulldozer.

Just a curiosity at first glance: the armored bulldozer, armed with a 7.62 millimeter machine gun on the roof, is intended to support tanks and ground troops in the fight against Hamas terrorists. The 55-ton monster, which operators call “Doobi” – Hebrew for teddy – is intended to dismantle ruins with death traps, force entrenched Hamas fighters to give up and clear the streets. We delve deeper into the technology and its origins.
