Hi,

the bridgetank (named in the NVA -> BLG-60) is not from the former GDR NVA.
When you search for Original pics, use this site . All official pics.

It's not just the shade of green what makes the difference between the MT-55A Bridging Tank (seen on your pics) and the BLG-60 Bridging Tank (former NVA). Just have a close look to the carrier vehicle and you will notice quite some major differences.

The brigdes themselves were also totally different constructions (with the BLG-60 bridge constructed as a closed hull able to swim despite of the open czech version)

Anyway: still nice pics, just be careful with the differences and origins of the vehicles seen.

I found it

http://www.primeportal.net/bridging/ulrich_wrede/blg_60/

When Andreas told me that the tank depicted in the photos which I posted didn't belong to NVA , he didn't specify that the russian and the german bridgelayer tanks were different in construction ...That's the reason why I thought it was just a camo matter...

Anyway, thanks a lot. Today I heard something new
