Turns out it's a BTM trench digger, Manufactured in several civilian and military models from the 1950's through the 1970's, from somewhere deep in Russian storage. Though they are old, they are said to be rugged and reliable.
The Russians are really rummaging around in their basement, looking for stuff they might have forgotten.

And our trench-digging-machine has seemingly been hard at work about 10 km west of Svatove, digging defensive earthworks
I guess those Dragon’s Teeth obstacles are to ward off their own tanks, seized from Russian forces over last few months. Seems like old tactics, so maybe the Russkies are gearing up for trench warfare. I think the French tried this in WWII & Germans simply went around them (Maginot Line?) What I find most interesting in this war is that Russia has appeared to have learned nothing from history.
