Germany gives Biber tank bridge-layers to Ukraine

Germany handed Ukraine 16 armored Biber bridge-laying machines, as well as 10 pontoon-bridge machines

This is stated on the website of the German government.

According to the German government, as of mid-October, Germany provided Ukraine with military aid in the amount of $1.5 billion.

This time, Germany handed over Biber tank bridge-layers to Ukraine. They belong to the group of combat support vehicles.  During combat, the bridgehead can bridge terrain cuts, such as bodies of water and gorges up to 20 meters wide, with the help of the high-speed Bieber tank bridge

It is known that pontoon-bridge machines, in turn, serve to ferry wheeled and tracked vehicles over water obstacles.  A bridge 22 meters long and 4 meters wide can be deployed in 2-3 minutes.  It weighs about 9.94 tons and can withstand up to about 55 tons.  The crew consists of a commander and a driver.  The device is not armed and is equipped with a smoke grenade launcher.
