Given that it is essentially a gigantic bridge on wheels, this car is among the more intriguing ones on the list. The M104 Wolverine is an armored bridge that is launched by a vehicle and may be deployed to traverse difficult terrain while fighting.

This sixty-foot-plus Leguan bridge can sustain a seventy-ton truck traveling at ten miles per hour once it is released. With the Wolverine, even the heaviest of US military vehicles can traverse craters, ditches, sand traps, and destroyed bridges at combat speed. The Army’s armored forces will greatly benefit from this.
