I know it happens for real but when I read about soldiers dead in a mysterious "training accident" I do wonder what black op went bad.

They drove their M88 Hercules tank recovery vehicle into a peat bog. It sank.
They likely got out and tried swimming, but had no equipment for a peat bog. You don't simply swim in a peat bog, you need an inflatable or styrofoam board to rescue yourself or others.

P.S. Additions / corrections, since journalists finally reached the area and there are photos.
The area has peat bogs, but this is a bog lake. The ground is very soft and the bottom is very muddy. Lithuanians are literally building a road there with an ultra-wide-tracked excavator, likely with the goal of getting a heavy construction crane into range of the sinking place.
Since the lake looks like one could climb out (the far side has forest), the men are likely in the vehicle. Since the vehicle is not waterproofed, they're unfortunately dead.
Since the lake is clearly discernible as a lake, I think they drove without anyone having their head out.
