The DOK-M (Dozer otočný kolový) engineering vehicle was developed under the acronym UŽAS (Univerzální ženijní armádní stroj) for the
Czechoslovak People’s Army, as a replacement for the earlier Soviet-made D-271 dozer. This original version was followed by the slightly improved DOK-Ms. About 110 were manufactured by Stavostroj in Nové Město nad Metují, from 1967 until around 1977, and exported to the East Germany Army. This is a reconstruction of an example confirmed as operated by Iranian military engineers in 1986–1988, during the Iraq-Iraq War. (Artwork by David Bocquelet)
