These are the new assault engineer tanks we have, that have replaced our aging Chieftain engineer tanks
one is a bridgelayer, which can lay a 26 meter bridge in just over 2 mins the other is the battlefield assault tank used for mine clearance, and obstacle clearance,
these do not have turrets fitted
they weigh over 60 tons and have a top speed of around 50mph
these vehicles are very loosely based on the challenger II battle tank which is a turreted MBT
