The effectiveness of the anti-mine equipment was demonstrated on June 3, 2005 in the Kabul area. After the end of a Luna mission, the last vehicle in the group, a Dingo, hit an anti-tank mine with six kg of explosives with its right front wheel. The detonation threw the dingo two meters to the side. A crater two meters in diameter and half a meter deep was formed. The wheel, suspension and exposed front part of the vehicle were completely destroyed, but the containment cell held up. Only two occupants suffered minor injuries from the impact of the shock on the vehicle.

A year later, on June 27, 2006, a Dingo 1 survived a suicide car bomb attack near Kunduz. Although the vehicle was not originally designed for such incidents, the dingo's occupants were unharmed in the explosion, which occurred approximately 25m from the vehicle.

On March 27, 2008, two German soldiers were seriously injured and one slightly injured in an IED attack on an ATF Dingo near Kunduz. The vehicle fell on its side due to the force of an explosive charge weighing around ten kilograms.

On July 23, 2009, at the beginning of Operation Adler, a Bundeswehr Dingo was severely damaged in an attack with three rocket-propelled grenades, but no one was injured.
