I just love this german amphibious.. rig.. boad.. truck.. bridge? Err, what ever it may be called!!

Saw it on discovery yesterday, and its just awsome. they took 8 of those and formed a bridge in just 9 minutes. 2 of those can be put togather to form a ferry, taking a Leopard 2. They are driven by a hydra jet (is that correct?) and can turn 360 degrees (well, round and around and around and so on, what i ment is that it can turn like a tank, but in the water), really fast!!

Its my new favorite military craft

In german:

Some nice images if you do not understand german


EDIT: don't really know if its a german design or if its a british design
EDIT2: Aparently made in Germany
