Russia likes to mention the Arctic artifact

The Russian army likes to mention the new "Arctic artifact", the all-round armored bulldozer: According to Russian media, Russian combat brigades deployed in the Arctic have obtained special armored bulldozers, and fully armored bulldozers are not afraid of grenades, light weapons and anti-tank missiles.

it can not only build bridges and pave roads, but also withdraw equipment and bulldoze enemy fortifications under enemy fire. This fully automatic machine can adapt well to the northern environment: the engine can also start at MINUS 6 degrees Celsius.

armor with a thickness of 2mm can resist bullets, shrapnel, aerial bombs and anti-tank missiles. Bullet-proof glass is installed in the cockpit and side doors to provide the driver with the vision and safety required for his work.

The cockpit and hood of this military bulldozer are covered with armor. The car weighs more than 2 tons and the speed is 1 kilometers per hour. This bulldozer has been specially modified for Arctic operations, and can complete large-scale excavation tasks in the environment of 45 degrees Celsius above zero to 6 degrees Celsius below zero.

It is reported that the main task of this bulldozer is to quickly build fortifications and set up simple engineering obstacles such as soil fences and embankments. The experience in Syria shows that this kind of mixed armor can greatly reduce the loss of personnel and effectively carry out combat missions. In addition, they are also needed for digging holes, clearing obstacles and building roads in wartime.

Russian media quoted Russian military expert Sergei suvorov as saying that this machine is widely used in the Middle East. Of course, there is no barricade in the North Pole, but it can be used to clear snowdrifts and ice mounds.
