I am confident this is the reason UK is sending bridging vehicles with those 12-14 Challys. It was actually something that caught my attention in the Ben Wallace speech announcing the delivery. Recovery vehicle also mentioned.
Must add that Finland is very much infested with rivers and swamps, the land of thousand lakes as the saying goes, but the "heavy" Leos do their job just fine. Of course, if those are driven to the mud/swamp without any competence those will be stuck as well as any other MBT. Training plays a role there.
