I just love this german amphibious.. rig.. boad.. truck.. bridge? Err, what ever it may be called!!

Saw it on discovery yesterday, and its just awsome. they took 8 of those and formed a bridge in just 9 minutes. 2 of those can be put togather to form a ferry, taking a Leopard 2. They are driven by a hydra jet (is that correct?) and can turn 360 degrees (well, round and around and around and so on, what i ment is that it can turn like a tank, but in the water), really fast!!

Its my new favorite military craft :D

In german:

Some nice images if you do not understand german :D


EDIT: don't really know if its a german design or if its a british design :?:
EDIT2: Aparently made in Germany
 
The equipment shown above are used for amphibious operations, if not, quite possibly for crossing large lakes, rivers, crossing one land mass to another.

The original design is I believe is British.

Yes, and ah. And well its still a damn cool thing! :D :lol: ;)
 
Yes, I was quite amazed of the effeciency and the practical use. It is a very important asset for the German Army in the battlefield. However, there are people who don't share my beliefs.
