How did they end up in the water in the first place? Did you see it happen or just part of the recovery operation?
I saw it happen, as the fourth vehicle in a column with our ARV, we drove over a little top, and saw it went down, and heard the screaming over the radio.

It was the number 3 tank in a platoon.
The number 3 and 4 tanks are manned with the most inexperienced commanders. He didn’t read the terrain proper, or the map.
That’s why.

We lost a crewmember on a similar accident two years ago, on one of our Leopard 2 MBT.
