Nothing new dear, Pakistani tanks have this capability since decades, I visited a military display and saw T-85 tank in early 90s, soldiers there told me that this tank is amphibious and they even show me the equipment.

Tanks nowadays (and since a long time ) have snorkels which let the engine "breathe" whilst it's underwater, allowing it to function. Even SUVs have them and also some buses and lorries.

how long can it stay submerged ? most of the vehicles should be ok for few mins until the water seeps in.
Unless vehicle is designed from ground up to be amphibious I dont think most of the tanks will hold up for too long.

Its called deep wading...something existing from 1930s

Heres a pic from ww2 with the snorkels clearly seen on the sherman

I believe the next step is to design a tank which can cross river Jhelum or river Sindh.

I believe the next step is to design a tank which can cross like river Jhelum of river Sindh.

Crossbreed of tank and sub marine, marine-tank.

I am familiar with tanks operating in water but have not seen a tank submerged completely. Well learn something everyday

But it's no easy task and a dangerous one for the tank's engine, snorkeling could risk hydrolocking the engine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock
Which is bad.
