Abstract
The purpose, use, development history of mechanized attack bridges and general trends in this field is discussed. Requirements during the Russia-China war and Persian Gulf operations are also discussed. The main principles of this type of engineering equipment, their role on the modern battlefield, and the achievements of leading countries in the creation and development of modern mechanized attack bridges is analyzed. The importance of modern mechanized attack bridges in the mountainous terrain of Georgia is emphasized. Their role in increasing the combat capability of the defense forces, both offensively and operationally, as well as in the implementation of mobile defense and logistical support, is mentioned. Also, their role in supporting civil authorities during natural or man-made disasters is mentioned.
