Voice of America: Kurds Display Cement-fortified Military Vehicles Seized from IS
KIRKUK, IRAQ—With Islamic State (IS) militants again trying to get a foothold near the strategic oil-rich Iraqi city of Kirkuk, Kurdish Peshmerga commanders on Tuesday displayed heavily-fortified military equipment seized from IS during earlier battles.
A VOA reporter was shown six locally manufactured armored vehicles and a number of military bulldozers that Kurdish commanders say IS had used to excavate trenches in areas to the south of Kirkuk and fortify IS fighters.
The weapons were reportedly seized from IS during battles earlier this year, according to Kurdish military officials.

There was a Company I worked for when I was a kid called Canada Gunite, what they did was spray concrete, at high pressure, mixed in a hopper, sprayed dry thru a hose and mixed at the nozzle, I was told that during WW2 they would spray ships in a kind of retrofit of armor on the Bridges and other critical points.
