I was a bridge sergeant in an army engineer battalion in 1970. (korea and later West Germany.) I was a crew chief of an Amphibious River Vessle. Not too dissimilar from what you see in the video.
Thank you for your service. 🇱🇷
Thank You for your Service Sir!

Engineers lead the way!!! Whoah!!! We drive M3's too.
Quite interesting solutions. 😊😊
Our Army corps of Engineers has been building our infrastructures for centuries
Would be nice it tecnology nuclear fusion, machine can materialize into space and desmaterializa obstacle as necessary . It will be dream tecnology..
Fascinating!
I'm hearing the soundtrack of A Bridge Too Far in my head.
yeah more sea bridge Sir
Amazing
This is Interesting
and why they publicize this so the whole world can see is beyond me
In my next life I must surely be a USA man .and I must train my children when I give birth to them .to be an astronauts. This people are very intelligent and very creative
Unless u r a woman, you giving birth 😂
Pretty cool
It's the royal engineers
Nice
How many rivers do we cross to have one of these ready to go?
We are
We are
We are

We are the Enginners!

Half the footage is british and German
Nato forces baby
It's a wonderful temporary bridge,it could not be used in a permanent year around situation
OK that’s interesting but how would you deal with rush-hour traffic if you got that figured out
These are only used during war if main bridges are compromised or damaged or when have entered deep into enemy territory. So rush hour, what rush hour? Main force has already gone ahead deep into enemy territory
@@darthgzuz you misunderstood me I meant civilian traffic, and military
Comparing apples to oranges is a logical fallacy
If only all this engineering knowledge and advancements were focused to improve people's lives instead of destroying them, we would have a different scenario worldwide. No hunger, less wars and outstanding quality of life for more.
It would also be cheaper to accomplish than what it now costs to sustain so much conflicts worldwide.
Floating bridges existed since Xerxes. It ain’t new tech.
God blessed U.S
This technology has been around since ww2
That bridge can be a high value target that could be knocked out with artillery and such. So in addition it might be good to be able to quickly build a small light weight bridge that is harder to hit and easier to repair.
For example one could build a floating light weight narrow gauge bridge say using PVC pipe and use e-bike technology to ferry men and supplies over a river (one might Goggle e-bikes on rails).
If a section is knocked out out it could be repaired with a hack saw, some glue and some more PVC pipe.
Also, one could have a machine that runs on the rails that can help do that.
A cargo e-bike can carry 500lbs of cargo at 20-30 mph. So even if that light rail bridge is knocked out half the time, the other half of the time one could carry thousands of tons of material across it.
And if the enemy is having to continuously take out these bridges as sections are knocked out and the rapidly repaired, trading valuable artillery rounds for PVC pipe and glue is not a bad trade!
So while being able to having a $13 Million dollar bridge in minutes while both valuable and necessary may not be sufficient in that at times one might need a little brother bridge that only cost a fraction of that cost and can be easily repaired, even if it can only be used to carry light freight.
Yes, one can do that with helicopters, that is if one has air superiority, but that might not always be the case. Also, one might put those helicopters to better use by using them to help lay the bridge sections and then free them up for other more urgent and critical uses.
Somebody sells PVC
You just need to choose right enemy, without artillery, long range munition, planes and missiles.
Awesome!!❤❤
Great Engineeiring. Great Innovation. Not like India building temples and Statues. No foresight by our Uneducated Politicians.😢
I first saw this tech from Russian army. You can Google and understand what I'm saying.
As well as the Chinese.
Funny how all these high end toys, are being tooken out by a 100 dollar drone...
Who needs their pollution?
War economy
But yet the U.S. cannot upgrade its infrastructure to save its life 😂😂😂😂😂
The U.S. is 50 states that run like countries within Europe. Some are managed better than others. The infrastructure is still high functioning.
You should move to China
No need to save lives, when they're constantly being replaced
Good point. As a Army Veteran, I appreciate the skills set of these men and the work they do in defense of our nation's politics that I may not always agree with.
Won’t make a difference how well infrastructured we are if we can’t defend it against people who want to take it from us. Yes, infrastructure is important as shown by our interstate system created in the early days of the Cold War, but we are more or less ok in infrastructure department at the moment. What we aren’t ok in is the amount of people, cultures and countries that we’ve pissed off the last seventy years to build what we have today and want payback, plus the little dictators who want a piece of the pie. (DPRK, I’m looking at you.)
Jesus Christ YAHWEH
Free Palestine
HOW ABOUT CLEANING THE WATERWAYS NOW. WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH! DUSGUSTING
It's German, British and American while Russia built their own single handedly.
So
Combine operations 🎖️
They have no mates
What mates do you mean!?..some homosexual stuff or what!?...i dont wana mate with germans or danes!..
Yeah whatever. This army had to leave Afghanistan. Not really a good track record.
Didn't have to do anything we were for 20 years we had an agreement to leave that's why we had less than 5k troops in country. Not the u.s job to baby sit other countries maybe they should learn to rely on themselves. After killing Osama the u.s should of left but then there's Obama
Takes them over 72 hours to do this !!!
China had this technology a decade ago
And it fell apart in two weeks, get it!! Made in China,😂
They stole it from the Americans.
Эх ребята.
Плаваете в сказках...
Вы не видели что такое настоящая война с миллионами убитых солдат, каждый убитый с крепко прижатым автоматом к груди...
Что такое сотни ракет за сотни миль каждый день по любой инженерной инфраструктуре, и тысячи Дронов охотящихся за каждым солдатом в отдельности.
Самый худший мир, лучшее чем
НАСТОЯЩАЯ ВОЙНА.
НЕ тешьте себя иллюзиями...
Если конфликт случится, шансов выжить будет не много, в первый же день
А ЕЩЁ БЫВАЮТ ЯДЕРНЫЕ ВОЙНЫ - КОГДА ЗЕМЛИ на орбите НЕ СТАНЕТ СОВСЕМ...
