The enterprise unveiled the newest TMM-3M2 heavy mechanized bridgelayer. The Director General of the GAKZ personally demonstrated vehicle to the Commander of the Service, Lieutenant General Yury Stavitsky. The GAKZ enterprise is going to exhibit the system at the Army 2016 military-technical forum in September 2016. The TMM-3M2 bridgelayer will be brought into service with Russian Armed Forces before the year-end," the official spokeperson of the GAKZ said.
