High mobility engineer excavator. Pretty cool device. And then you see the numbers operated per army.. the US has "a few".

Damn thats a lot lol

Interestingly though, it says germany only has 7, but this article says they are sending 6 so I'm assuming the Wikipedia is outdated.

Or they bought a few to send. Or they bought others and are sending theirs.

Is some of this already financed from the interest of frozen russian assets in EU? There was some news about this recently but I don't understand all the abbrevations in the press release.
