Btw:

Polish Army is going to buy another 123 Leopards 2A4 from Bundeswehr reserves.
That will give us a total of 251 Leopard’s 2A4 (128 are currently in service).

10th Armoured Brigade training in "Biala Gora" - 18-25.06.2007

Can those Leopard stop in the underwater for an ambush? heh

My father told me that in his unit they were training engine malfunction situations during crossing the river.
Once in the water crews were turning off the engines and practicing emergency engine start up and evacuation procedure etc.
Back then there was no Leopard 2A4’s in the Polish Land Forces so it was performed on T-72 and PT-91 tanks.
Now such training is performed also on Leo’s.

So at least theoretically it is possible I think.

Btw : Once during such training my father’s crew had a problem to start up the engine and the water was starting to leak into the hull. My father told the driver to relax (yeah right) and ordered the crew to put on the special swim masks (in contact with water chemicals are generating oxygen for 30 minutes). They waited till the water filled the hull and then they have opened the hatches and evacuated from the tank. When WZT-3 (ARV) pulled the tank out of the water it turned out that the crew didn’t properly sealed the hull.
