They're very slow though - even getting it to an intersection to put up a blocking berm would take a very long time unless you had a flatbed to haul it on, and most of those things can be done more faster and efficiently with a lot less exposure using simpler methods. You'd never have a "shoot and scoot" event with one.

What they are useful for (and worth this kind of effort) is accurately digging out excavations - I wonder if they're not going full Iran and putting facilities underground? Given the lawlessness there, it might be to put in endless military trenching to defend territory.
