Drone-proof armored bulldozer “clears the way” for Ukrainian defenders of Kramatorsk
It's a dangerous, dirty job clearing wrecked vehicles from a strategic eastern highway. But the 100th Mechanized Brigade's engineers are up to it.
The Ukrainian 100th Mechanized Brigade is clearing the path for defenders of Kramatorsk by using a special armored bulldozer. The road to Kramatorsk, located in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast, is littered with damaged vehicles. The brigade has attached a dozer blade to one of its armored vehicles, converting it into a combat bulldozer.
This bulldozer clears the most challenging obstacles from the road, allowing other equipment to pass. The engineers operating these vehicles are highly valued, as they face constant danger from drones that target them while they work. The 100th Mechanized Brigade recently posted a video showing the dozer in action, clearing destroyed vehicles off the H20 highway.
The Ukrainian army has developed various specialized vehicles, including CEVs, to perform tasks like digging trenches, clearing obstacles, and towing damaged vehicles. However, these specialized vehicles are rare, and engineers often convert existing armored vehicles into makeshift combat engineer vehicles.
