Summary[edit]

Description
English: IDF Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer (nicknamed "Doobi", which is teddybear in Hebrew) of Israel's Combat Engineering Corps.

Used by the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) Combat Engineering corps the Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer is a versitile, dependable, durable ans well-protected platform. Used in combat and in counter-terrorism operations, the D9 is cited by military experts as a key factor in keeping IDF casualties low in the war against Palestinian terrorism.

This specific model shown here is the CAT D9R up-armored with ballistic plates coat, reinforced ballistic bulletproof glass and slat armor (also known as cage armor or bar armor). The Israeli armor kit proved itself effective against terrorists and anti-tank weapons. The D9 withstood IED belly charges of 200 kg and 500 kg (more than 5 times the mass of high explosives needed to destroy a main battle tank).

In the skilled hand of the Israeli Combat Engineering Corps the D9 became the nightmare of terrorists and a key factor in keeping IDF casualties low.
