Hercules in Lithuania

M88 Hercules

Three days ago four US soldiers went missing in Lithuania. They were operating an M88 Hercules  recovery vehicle (i.e. a tow truck). The vehicle was found sunk in a swamp, but no sign of the soldiers.

The soldiers' armored vehicle was discovered submerged in 15 feet of water and so far teams have been unable to get inside or pull it out.

Recovery of the recovery vehicle is underway, but it looks to be a long, hard slog to pull it out of the swamp. Hopefully the soldiers will soon be found alive and well. Right now it's anybody's guess as to where they have got to.

Pabadre, Lithuania

Pabadre is about three miles from the border with Belarus.
