Russian troops have retrieved 10 tons of beer trapped under Siberian ice, the Itar-Tass news agency has reported.
The rescue team of six divers, 10 workers and a modified T-72 tank from the Emergencies Ministry managed to save the load after a week-long operation.
They pulled the truck to an ice hole, opened the doors, and managed to pull out the kegs and bottles of beer.
But as they were ready to retrieve the truck, the rope tore, leaving the truck on the bottom of the river, deputy head of the Cherlak district administration Vasily Yatkovsky told Tass.
They know how to prioritize. Do you think the soldiers get a special patch or medal for participation in this operation?
