Description Today, I have modeled a Titan! It's essentially, a bridge layer based on the Challenger II. My version is a bit different though, it has the armor of a Merkava, the tracks of a Challenger II, the armored periscopes of a Leopard 2A6, and the top of an actual Titan.

The "Colossus" armored bridgelayer is the latest version of the tank bridgelayer, supplied to the Paraganian Army. It is designed to launch bridges for tanks and other combat vehicles across trenches and water obstacles in combat conditions. It was developed by Alpha Defense Systems (now PAE Systems), and was selected by the Paraganian MoD in 2005. The first prototypes were completed in 2007. The Titan entered service with theΒ  Army Corps of Engineers in 2008, final deliveries were made in 2009. A total of 60 bridgelayers were delivered. In Paragania this armored vehicle is referred as the Engineer Tank System (ETS).

The Colossus is the fastest, best protected and most broadly capable armored bridgelayer in the world. It is also one of the heaviest armored vehicles in the world. It is based on a modified FV-120 Wild Dog main battle tank chassis. The Titan lays bridges faster, and in a wider variety of terrain condition, than the previous Centaur AVLB.

Oh wow. May Arcand purchase a license to mount this on one of our chassis?
