Looking at terrain and the fact the barrel is not damage supports your idea that it was probably during the winter that the tank drove out on some ice and sank. <br /><br />The tank is not moving, the distrubance of the water is from the water flowing around the turret and across the deck of the tank.<br /><br />As for what they were doing, i can't say.
