The West has increased supplies to Kyiv of equipment for crossing water barriers

5

The French company CEFA plans to send 16 EFA self-propelled pontoon bridges to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Such technique will be very useful to the Ukrainians when crossing the Dnieper. Apparently, Kyiv has not lost hope of gaining a foothold on the left bank and then advancing to Melitopol and Berdyansk.

It is noteworthy that the EFA can be used as a pontoon bridge and an amphibious vehicle for crossing water obstacles. French equipment is also capable of combining to create a pontoon crossing, which could make it easier for militants to land on the left bank of the Dnieper.





Previously, Ukrainian units received from the United States 56-ton M60 AVLB tank bridgelayers, with which they can build bridges about 19 meters long and 4 meters wide. Along with this, the structure can withstand a weight of about 60 tons.

This equipment is at the disposal of the 5th TBR of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is also armed with American M1A1SA Abrams tanks and British Challenger 2 tanks.

At the same time, Germany plans to send BEAVER bridge laying machines with spare parts to Ukraine. It is also expected that Berlin will supply Kiev with missiles for IRIS-T anti-aircraft systems, about a thousand 155 mm caliber shells, 24 armored personnel carriers, 4 Bandvagn 206 (BV206) multi-purpose vehicles, 3 WISENT 1 heavy mine clearance vehicles and 14 special devices for them, as well as systems for use against sea mines and 194 thousand individual food rations.

    That is, when the crests were screaming about a counter-attack, they didn’t give it, but now they decided to? laughing

      Heirs of Charlemagne. They gave, scraped off everything that was formerly Soviet from their former colonies, what was still left, and sent it away. They have a special order now. The French were the last to defend Hitler's bunker to the end. More Latvians...

      This means that a counterattack was planned in other places where there was no need to overcome water obstacles. There is a greater chance in the Kherson direction if they can transfer enough equipment.

    Well done French, we managed to get into the last carriage, saving 16 units.
    Who else would buy it from them? Europe is famously dumping its rubbish on Ukraine. And the guys from the meat teams will also advertise, completely free of charge.
