But I wouldn't have expected any less from the Poles.

No they are not SF Fox. They are from 6th Air Assault battalion.
This whole thing was a showoff for the press because this unit (in may) was celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Btw: On the last two photos we may see Polish soldiers from second shift (Afghanistan) training in „Wędrzyn” - 11.05.2007
Few pics from A-stan

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.
