Lithuania. The army reveals what could happen to the fourth lost soldier
Lithuanian media reports that the search action lasted all night. Divers once again immersed in a sticky swamp. Unfortunately, to no avail. On Tuesday, April 1, the Minister of National Defense of Lithuania Dovilė Šakalienė confirmed in an interview with LRT that the fourth US soldier is still missing. She once again emphasized that the action would last until it was found. Representatives of the American army say the same. « We’ll bring them all home, » they assure.
This is how they are looking for a soldier missing at the training ground
More information on the course of the action appeared on Monday, March 31 in the evening. General Broni Remigijus Baltrėnas, Chief of Staff of the Defense of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, told what the search looks like,
Divers continue their work. They dive in search of traces of places where a soldier may be located. They use water sonars to try to find, detect these places. The third thing that is currently carried out is the use of a drone equipped with scanning equipment. The drone scans the water surface and possibly predicts where the soldier can be
– said the military, quoted by Lrytas.lt.
He added that a water pump is connected from time to time. Its purpose is to suck accumulated water from a larger tank to allow divers to work further. – It should take until tomorrow morning. Then, when we see if we have the result, we’ll see what we will do next, ”Baltrėnas said on Monday evening.
Lithuania. What happened to the fourth missing American soldier?
The question remains what happened to the fourth soldier. Why was it not in a sunk armored cart, where the bodies of the other three Americans were found? Baltrėnas pointed to the most likely course of events.
It is very difficult to talk about it in detail, but perhaps the strength of water and mud with which the armored tank immersed in the water, she could throw the soldier out of the vehicle by the pressure
– he explained to all the campaign at the place of action.
Lrytas.lt reports that divers from both Lithuanian and the American army are involved in the search and rescue operation. They are constantly changing because the work is very hard. The swamp is just mud, so divers can not see anything when they are immersed in it.
Difficult action of a tag
Baltrėnas does not hide that the operation has now become even more complicated, because it was difficult to capture a huge vehicle in total darkness, and man is even more difficult. The Army representative emphasizes that the work is only facilitated by the fact that the soldier’s body should be in a similar location as an armored vehicle.
The search began in this area and from there we expand sideways. Divers were methodically divided the entire area into squares and work according to this
– says Baltrėnas, quoted by Lrytas.lt.
It is not clear how deep the body can be.
Will Polish divers look for a missing soldier?
There is still a large group of soldiers from Poland on the spot. For now, however, they did not actively participate in the search for the last missing soldier.
Polish soldiers who arrived two days ago are there. The Polish Army Control Group is constantly involved in the whole process – we consult them. Depending on the results, maybe Polish soldiers will be more involved tomorrow. It is difficult to predict at the moment
– Baltrėnas said on Monday evening.
Meanwhile, the bodies of three found soldiers were transported on Monday to the State Service of Forensic Medicine in Vilnius.
