The time constraints to ensure that each tank was capable, the fact that Nato would have been plastering the area etc etc, means that its a no-no. They just couldnt turn up and drive across, it took an average of an hour to prepare a T-80 for river crossing, in a war zone!!!! impossible.
The Russians btw did back-engine TIS, but couldnt produce it in the 80s, though one of the Guards units did have the mountings and casing it was empty inside :)
Wow, after I read this one could tie me down and make me eat a bug.
Logic would dictate that this is the logical assumption.
