Experts believe MTU-90M one of the most advanced to date tank Bridge handlers; it has a simple to manage, well established and reliable to use the design as a base machine, and the bridge pickup system.
MTU-90M is designed for the device in a combat situation the bridge length 19 m across the river, channels and water obstacles, and the ravines and artificial obstacles: ditches, scarps and counterscarps, the rubble. The machine provides a high rate of crossing guidance at any time in any weather, as well as the assembly of multispan bridge with bridge from the heavy mechanized bridge TMM-6.
MTU-90M can be used in the battle formations of the second tier and the first tank regiments trains tank divisions. The bridge is induced without the crew leaving the machine. The fighting compartment is completely sealed and has a means of protection against radioactive and chemical contamination areas.
The design utilizes a unique bridge circuit, representing a “triple scissors”. Aiming axle by means of hydraulic drives. Removal of the bridge possible from the opposite bank. Guidance and removal of the bridge takes 2.0-2.5 min. MTU-90M crew consists of two people, the maximum speed is bridgelayer 60 kmh, cross country - 20-25 km / h; Cruising on the highway - 550 km.
