France Preps for High-Intensity War: Heavy Floating Bridges for Tanks

France has awarded a massive €697M Syfrall contract to build new heavy floating bridge systems designed to move tanks and armored vehicles across rivers fast — and that’s the point. In modern high-intensity warfare, “wet-gap crossing” is one of the most dangerous and decisive operations: if your brigade can’t cross, you lose tempo, bunch up, and become an easy target. In this video, we break down what Syfrall (Système de Franchissement Lourd-Léger) actually is, why MLC ratings like MLC 85C / MLC 100R matter, and how France is rebuilding brigade-level crossing capability for modern forces including the Leclerc XLR and Scorpion vehicles — while keeping NATO interoperability in mind. We also explain why this “boring” procurement is a strategic power move: bridging capacity controls maneuver, maneuver controls the fight, and rivers don’t care about your tank armor. If you’re following European rearmament, NATO mobility, or engineering support for armored warfare — this one matters.
