In October 2003, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) developed a completely new armor protection kit - Daqhpor Memugan - for the D9R bulldozers, which are heavily equipped in the Israel Defense Forces. This armor consists of an armored cabin with high visibility, as well as protection for the engine, fuel and oil tanks, and hydraulic and electrical systems.
The D9R bulldozer offers good protection and can even protect against RPG attacks when fitted with slatted armor. Light weapons such as machine guns can be mounted on the roof of the cabin for self-defense. It has proven to be an efficient and durable combat support platform.
