Colossal armoured engineer vehicles of the British Army out on range 🪖

Watch a Titan bridge layer and Trojan armouted engineering vehicle drive onto a training area. The Titan goes off road, while the Trojan practises with it's hydraulic arm. These are two of the most largest vehicles in the British Army's inventory.
The Trojan Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers (AVRE) is used in breaching, mine-sweeping, excavation, to move obstacles and carry items for use in construction and engineering, such as pipe fascine used for shoring trenches or bridging gaps. The Trojan's plough is used to clear mines by pushing them out of the way, or detonating them.
The Titan Armoured Vehicle Launcher Bridge (AVLB), also belonging to the Royal Engineers, is used to launch and assemble bridges across gaps for tanks and other vehicles to cross. It carries the No 10, 11 and 12 Close Support Bridges.
Both are based on Challenger Main Battle Tank (MBT) chassis.

What do they do? Huge equipment to carry trooos? Weapons? Or what? They do move fast..

[@Scots522]

AVLB it's a Bridge used to allow Armoured vehicles to cross obstacles, the others pipes used to lay into trenches for vehicles to cross over.
Bridge crossing at night not for the faint hearted , watch a Tank come off and Turn upside down in a river in Germany 😮

I used to drive and operate both those, Trojan & Titain.great fun cross country.

[@graememckay9972]

I wonder who was in the white ford at the back. Seemed to wait to join the convoy.
Funny seeing the hazard warning/ park anywhere lights flashing like they make a blind bit of difference.

[@justinmulchinock-roche5589]

Are these driven by REME, I'm guessing bridging equipment?

Beauties! Somebody's done some paperwork to get those bad boys out and about like that, you don't just get up in the morning and decide you will take 5hem out for a drive!

They have to do track mileage to keep them going.
