Water inlet is the bridge, and the water outlet is the vehicle.
New wheeled amphibious self-propelled gate bridge completes launching training
Engineers carried out the task of crossing the river to ensure even more wings
News from our newspaper Feng Cheng and reporter Niu Hui reported: Single-bridge navigation, equipment uploading, loading catwalk, multi-bridge coordination...Recently, a synthetic brigade engineering unit of the 78th Army completed the first launch of a new wheeled amphibious self-propelled gate bridge Load training.
The commissioning of this new equipment has made the engineer's task of crossing the river even more powerful.
"The characteristic of the new wheeled amphibious self-propelled gate bridge is that the bridge and the vehicle are integrated. It enters the water as a bridge and exits the water as a vehicle." According to the leaders of the brigade, after a bicycle enters the water, the bridge section on the vehicle can be opened to become a catwalk weapon. The door bridge of equipment and vehicles can be connected by multiple vehicles to form a floating bridge. Its water-to-land conversion, erection and withdrawal speed are very fast, and it has high maneuverability.
This new equipment can play an important role in performing combat support or participating in non-war military operations such as flood fighting and rescue.
"Attention to all vehicles, start the door bridge operation!" At the training site, the reporter saw that the driver drove the amphibious self-propelled door bridge to the scheduled door bridge ferry field. The operator quickly settled in and started work immediately.
"Gate bridge launch!" Accompanied by layers of white waves agitated by the water surface, the gate bridge slowly drove into the water. The driver quickly converted into a steerer, rewinding the ferry, turning the rudder, and turning to shore, all in one go.
Under the command of the guide, a new wheeled combat vehicle slowly drove onto the bridge deck. After it stopped and secured, the gate bridge once again set off rolling waves and carried the combat vehicle to the opposite bank.
When the chariot drove down the bridge and galloped away, the gate bridge slowly landed ashore, and under the control of the operator, it changed back to the prototype of the car body.
It is understood that since the installation of the new wheeled amphibious self-propelled gate bridge, the brigade has adopted a variety of methods to help officers and soldiers master the new equipment operation skills as soon as possible, and explore practical tricks such as the "six-step loading method".
In the next step, the brigade will also use the new equipment to carry out night driving, parallel boat loading and other subjects training.
