So these did not need a battle for bridge to cross the Eufratus.... They could have crossed it somewhere else..... Though bridge is still good for supplies. |

You do know that we can still see that stuff from orbit and fire self-guiding top-penetrator submunitions from artillery 10 miles away when they dry off?
But no, putting a tank underwater is sure cute.

You can't, there is no real-time visual surveillance.

Of course you can. Btw, they don't need to dry up. Snorkels can be jettisoned in a minute. |

That's assuming you can get into the water and also find a place to exit the water
And yes, resupply those beasts after they've reached the opposite shore.

Hell, I could swim over to them, spray some hairspray into the snorkels and drop a (waterproof) match in. Think of the money you'd save. |

Of course there is. Not always convenient like in the movies though, so UAVs are better for that sort of thing.
