Ukraine received French-made PFM motorized ferries to equip the 47th Engineering Brigade, reinforcing the ability to quickly cross rivers and other water obstacles.
The systems, developed by the company CNIM, can be used both as floating bridges and as self-propelled ferries, increasing troop mobility in different combat scenarios.

The set is made up of modules measuring around 10 meters, which can be connected together or operated independently. Each module supports up to 20 tons and allows the passage of wheeled and tracked vehicles. In bridge configuration, the system meets the MLC 90T standard, being capable of supporting heavy combat vehicles.
The ferries have integrated engines, maneuver in 360 degrees and operate in currents of up to 3 m/s, in addition to overcoming banks of up to 3 meters in height.
According to the information released, a 100-meter bridge can be assembled in around 30 minutes by a team of 42 soldiers, ensuring speed and logistical flexibility for Ukrainian forces.
