"The B10M2-S bulldozer is an excellent example of dual technologies. It is armored and can be used in hot spots and in peacetime. The vehicle can engage in a wide range of bulldozing and moldering operations at I-IV-grade ground, including frozen and rock soil. It can engage in engineering operations, clear rubbles, erect protection constructions, restore damaged buildings and thus normalize the situation and promote transfer to peaceful life. The armor does not reduce its productivity and operational characteristics," it said.
In contrast to foreign analogues the hood of B10M2-S is bullet and fragmentation-proof which allows the vehicle to operate in hostility areas. Special protection also defends the internal equipment of the vehicle cab from bullets fired from 7.62mm SVD sniper rifle. Armored engine elements protect machinery and equipment from AKM 7.62mm bullets. Upon customer request the level of bulldozer protection can be increased, the vehicle cab and hood cap can be changed, additional protection installed on several units, and suspension (shock-absorber) of the cab enhanced. Armor can be mounted on the tractor in the place of operation. |
