  Afaik armies use bulldozers all the time. But not while engaging the enemy. Israel uses theirs mainly to level homes and other civilian structures, which is why theirs trigger a reaction that warrants the added protection. Not a definite answer to your question, but i don’t know of any army that does that. Kind reminder that targeting civil infrastructure is a war crime. Destroying homes on purpose is a war crime.

  Not only armoured — going by the picture, also armed

    But is that unusual? They also have tanks, logistic vehicles and other common war fighting equipment. I had a read and it seems than armored bulldozers are rather common. Ie. They didn’t engineer a weapon for home and infrastructure destruction, but have a thing with an actual, Geneva compliant use case.

  I think some police departments use them in lieu of bear cats. Even the little skid steer bob cats can knock down a wall
