🇺🇸🇱🇹 Hegseth speaks about the 4 US soldiers who went missing in Lithuania
In a statement issued Friday, the U.S. Army said the hulking, 70-ton M88 Hercules armored recovery vehicle the missing U.S. soldiers had been operating “was found submerged approximately 15 feet under a body of water and mud in a boggy area” connected to a nearby lake.
“The area around the site is incredibly wet and marshy and doesn’t support the weight of the equipment,” the U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s public affairs office said in a statement Friday. “Draining the area has been slow and difficult due to ground water seepage,” it said.
“This will be a long and difficult recovery operation, but we are absolutely committed to bringing our soldiers home,” said Curtis Taylor, Commanding General of the 1st Armored Division.
