Video has surfaced online that allegedly shows a German-made strike bridge system being put into service by the Ukrainian army.
The Biber bridge class tank was discovered while being loaded on a military trailer.
Earlier this year, German defense leaders said Berlin plans to send Ukraine 16 Biber bridge-class tanks to help its forces “surpass water or other obstacles in battle”.

German Federal Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said the first six systems will be delivered by the end of this year and 10 more next year.
Biber is an armored vehicle launch bridge based on the Leopard 1 tank chassis. The bridge is 22 meters long, 4 meters wide, and weighs approx. 10 tons and approved for loads up to approx. 55 tons.
The vehicle is a highly mobile, rapidly deployable attack bridge that can be used to overcome natural and man-made obstacles on the battlefield.
