The IDF captured several PMP pontoons during the Yom Kippur War.
PMP Heavy Folding
Pontoon Bridge
The Soviet PMP was a major breakthrough in floating bridge design. The Egyptian forces used PMP bridges successfully during the crossing of the Suez Canal in Yom Kippur War (October 1973). The pontoons are carried folded on a 6x6 truck and launched into the water by backing up to the edge of the water.
