Aren't all modern tanks with NBC protection capable of that, I man to provide that protection they have to be air tight with exception to their air filtration system?

I would think so, antikristuseke. Can't imagine any military fielding a drafty modern tank, but I could be wrong.

IIRC the T-72, T-80 and T-90 can go underwater to a point as well.

EDIT: Well, probably the T-64 too, but I don't know for sure.

But can it come back out of the water again afterwards though?

Why would you go underwater in the first place if you wanted to come out anyway?

But in the T-64's case, only as far behind enemy lines as the tank factory technicians can walk to fix it...

Having the capability to ford deeper waters than the enemy might expect?
