The Guardian 18 MAY 2024

British Army engineers have built the longest amphibious bridge ever made – at 350 metres – as part of the largest joint exercise in Eastern Europe since the end of the Cold War.

75 Engineer Regiment are in Chelmno in North West Poland to take part in Ex ANAKONDA. The Polish-led Exercise Anakonda features 31,000 troops, thousands of vehicles, 12 ships and over a hundred aircraft from 24 countries including the UK, Poland, Germany and the US

British Army Leaves US Troops Trailing in Vietnam War-Era Pontoon - Hundreds of armoured vehicles crossed the Drawa River in Poland after British Royal Engineers constructed amphibious barges

Challenger 2 tanks joined hundreds of armoured vehicles crossing the Drawa River on British amphibious barges.

Royal Engineers took 18 minutes to launch a dozen M3 Rigs – trucks that turn into barges – and lash them together to form ferries.

Each ferry carries up to 190 tons of cargo – or two fully loaded Challenger 2 tanks.

It comes after Russia lost countless troops and armoured vehicles when a crossing was hit by Ukraine’s artillery.

Major Ryan Ingram, boss of the 23 Amphibious Engineer Squadron, said: “The Russians got it wrong.

“We want to be in and out before we are even seen.”

His barges took 45 seconds to cross the 500ft wide river.

If they came under fire in a conflict the ferries would separate, scatter and hide along the riverbank within minutes.
