The TMM-6 bridge is based on the MZKT-7930 8x8 wheel truck produced by the JSC Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant (MZKT). The bridge sections can be laid down from within the cabin of the vehicle or via remote control system.

The TMM-6 bridge includes up to 6 separate sections with 102 m total maximum length. The system can cover a gap of between 17 and 100 m with depth up to 5 m. TMM-6 has assembly time of 60-80 minutes and disassembly time of about 90 minutes for the bridge of maximum length. Two MZKT-7930s carry one bridge section per truck. The remaining four sections are transported on 6 Ural 6x6 truck which tows a trailer.

The TMM-6 bridge system has a high pass-through capacity. Approximately 300 tracked (or 400 wheeled) vehicles can cross the bridge in one hour moving at speed up to 20 km/h.

TMM-6 is fully compatible with MTU-90M AVLB which is based on the hull of T-90 main battle tank. TMM-6 is supposed to replace the obsolete TMM bridge system mounted on 6x6 truck.

The MTU-90M is a bridge laying system based one the chassis of the T-90 main battle tank. The MTU-90M has entered in service with the Russian army in 2013. The MTU-90M is an improved version of the MTU-90 but with a shorter bridge.
