Lithuanian dredgers and water pumps are continuing to clear mud away from the site of the sunken U.S. Army M88A2 “Hercules” Armored-Recovery Vehicle (ARV) at the Pabradė Training Ground in eastern Lithuania, as recovery operations continue for the bodies of 4 American Soldiers with the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team (1ABCT), 3rd Infantry Division from Fort Stewart, Georgia. Polish and U.S. dive teams from Spain are currently preparing to dive down over 16ft into the muddy water to reach the ARV, where they will attach hooks to eventually extract the M88 and the bodies of its crew.

Despite a landslide this morning causing mud to refill the basin that had already been emptied over the last day, as well as an unsuccessful dive earlier by U.S. and Polish divers to reach the vehicle. A major breakthrough has just occurred at the recovery site for a U.S. Army M88A2 “Hercules” Armored-Recovery Vehicle (ARV) and the bodies of 4 American Soldiers with the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team (1ABCT), 3rd Infantry Division, who sunk over 16ft into the swamp during an exercise last Tuesday at the Pabradė Training Ground in eastern Lithuania; as U.S. Navy Seabee Divers, part of an Underwater Construction Team (UCT) stationed at Naval Station Rota in Spain, have managed to attach one hook to the M88, after blindly diving into the muddy water below. One more hook must be attached before attempts to remove the ARV from the swamp can begin, though more dredging and excavation will also be required due to this morning’s landslide.

In a phone interview earlier today with NBC News, U.S. President Donald J. Trump stated that he was “very angry” and “pissed off” with Russian President Vladimir Putin criticizing the legitimacy of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. President Trump added that if the war in Ukraine continues and a ceasefire is not achieved at the fault of Russia, he will impose secondary tariffs on Russian oil production, placing 25-50% tariffs on any country that continues to buy oil products from Russia.
