Israel has unveiled a robotic variant of its D9 bulldozer, called the “Robdozer,” designed to perform key battlefield engineering tasks without placing soldiers in harm’s way. Remotely operated, the platform can remove obstacles, clear terrain, and operate in hostile zones, offering a safer alternative for combat engineers. The system has seen initial use in the ongoing Gaza conflict, with military sources describing it as a landmark in the evolution of robotic warfare at scale.
