Video of tank going underwater. The vehicle was developed by a German and Argentine team of engineers, and was based on the chassis of the German Marder infantry fighting vehicle.

The Argentine TAM tank has been around since the late 1970s. This is not exactly stop-the-presses stuff.

WWII Sherman *Duplex Drive* amphibious tank, circa 1944. The Army's 70th Armor hit the beaches during the Normandy landing with DD Shermans, and the landings there came off much more smoothly than at Omaha- at least it wasn't a turkey shoot.

Isn’t that another snorkel in the middle of the river?

Maybe it's a Russian T-80. They've got 'em.

Argentina was one of the three customers for Mauser’s first smokeless powder rifle, the model 1889.

AS well as the Colt offering of Mr Browning's water-cooled machinegun. Which became the M1917 when the U.S. got around to adopting it.
