The "D9" bulldozer is a "civilian" vehicle used in military missions. It is a modified armored bulldozer nicknamed “Teddy Bear” by members of the Israeli army.
Israel has used it in all its wars and subjected it to military developments and improvements. The Israeli army has about 100 armored bulldozers of this type, in addition to the modern version, the D-9T. The American army used it during the Vietnam War to clear forests and open paths to expose forest areas.
