22M MEDIUM ASSAULT BRIDGE The Class 30 Medium Assault Bridge is currently in production. It is assembled on Singapore Technologies Kinetics' Bionix Infantry Fighting Vehicle and is adaptable to other light tanks.
Design features include:
Telescopic launching girder Class 30 aluminium bridge Class 60 crossing possible using 2 bridges 22 m bridge length Launch time less than 10 minutes No hydraulic parts in the bridge Horizontal launching Launch-under-armour capability System weight MLC 30 using 18t tank
The BLB is definately a step-up from the awful SLB (SM1 Launched Bridge) which was severely unbalanced and whose span length was quite pathetic
ReplyDeleteYou do realise that the Bionix Launch Bridge (BLB) will not have the capability of supporting our Leopard 2A4 MBTs?
