It should be noted that this year no one except the Chinese team brought their own tanks, so all the crews act on Russian T-72B3 tanks

News from the competition "Tank Biathlon-2018"




In the first race on the first day of the competition, the team of China distinguished themselves, speaking on the tanks of the national assembly "Type-96" - they took the first place. The second to the finish came tankers from Kazakhstan. In third place, the Ugandan team unexpectedly turned out to be for everyone, and the fourth was taken by the Kuwaiti tank crews, who, because of the mistakes they had made, earned penalties and missed the Ugandan team that was last. All teams, except for the Chinese were on the Russian tanks T-72B3.

In the second race, which took place on the same day, the leading position was taken by the Azerbaijani team, ahead of the Indian team at the finish, eventually finishing the second. The tankers of Zimbabwe are in the third position, the team of South Africa finished fourth.



On the second day of the competition, July 29, teams from Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Myanmar, Tajikistan, Syria, Belarus, Serbia, Iran and Russia joined the fight in tank competitions. The teams were assigned to participate in three races.

In the first race of the second day of the competition, the Armenian team won a well-deserved victory, eventually winning first place, the second to the finish came Kyrgyz tankers, the Tank Biathlon debutants - Myanmar and Vietnamese tankers - ranked third and fourth.

Only three teams participated in the second race, but this competition did not lose its spectacle. The first to the finish of the second race was the team of Belarus, which has significant experience in such races. But in the second place, oddly enough, the team of Syria finished with absolutely no experience of participation in competitions of this kind and only on the eve of the competitions familiar with the rules of the race, but with the greatest experience of participation in hostilities. The third at the finish were tankers from Tajikistan, whose tank had a caterpillar during the movement.

The third race with the participation of three teams, did not bring great victories or disappointments. Russian tankers participating in the race took the first place, while demonstrating the best time for the route, the Serbian team finished second, Iran took the third place.



On the third day of the competition, 30 July, teams from Angola, Mongolia, Venezuela, Laos, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Azerbaijan and India joined the fight.

In the first run of the third day of the competition, the Venezuelan crew won the race, finishing 25 minutes 42 seconds after the start. The team of Mongolia ranked second. In third place finished tankers of Laos, the Angolan team closed the four.

The second run of the third day of the competition also did not bring sensations. The Chinese who participated in the race came to the finish line first, just a minute ahead of the Kazakhstan team. The Kuwaiti team finished third, beating Uganda’s team. It should be noted that the second crews of the above teams participated in this race, leading a separate struggle in individual competitions.

The third race was also presented by the second crews of the teams from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Azerbaijan and India. According to the results of the race, the tankers of Azerbaijan took the first place, the tankers of India came second to the finish, the Zimbabwe team took the third place. The second crew of the team of South Africans, like the first, eventually took the last line of the final table of the third race.



The fourth day of the competition was opened by the teams of Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Myanmar. During the first race, the main struggle unfolded between the tank crews of Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, who already have sufficient experience of participating in the competition. According to the results of the race, the tankers of Kyrgyzstan took the first place with the 23 minute 51 second, the second came to the finish tankers of Armenia, lagging behind the leader by about 5 minutes, the Union of Myanmar team finished third, and the four tankers from Vietnam closed.

The teams of Belarus, Syria and Tajikistan competed in the second race. The final protocol recorded such an arrangement of teams at the finish: the first place was taken by the tank crews of Belarus, the second place was occupied by the Syrian tank crews, the third place went to the team from Tajikistan.

In the third race of the day, teams from Russia, Serbia and Iran met. According to the results of the race, Russia became the leader with the result of 21 minute 2 seconds. The second came the Serbs, spending on the passage of the route 26 minutes 2 seconds, and closed the top three Iranians. Their result is 27 minutes 39 seconds.



Now in the Tank Biathlon competition there comes a break that lasts until the third of August, and it is on this day that three four teams meet on the track, in the first one - tankers of Angola, Mongolia, Venezuela and Laos, in the second - the teams of Kuwait, China, Kazakhstan and Uganda, and the third will compete crews from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Azerbaijan and India.

Competitions in the groups will last until 5 in August and from the 7 in August will begin the semi-finals. Good luck to our guys!

        The Vietnamese were somehow stupid. But the Syrians did well - the combat experience is having an effect. Ours, however, managed to take off their clothes at the bend, where in the previous race the Tajiks were left without a caterpillar

          The Vietnamese cherish their equipment, they don’t particularly exploit, and this is the result, but there will probably be a conclusion that you still need to learn, you won’t gain stable skills in a month, and those that are easy to lose ... All the benefits ...

          save on running-in, as it were, “the avaricious pays twice”, IMHO wasn’t removed from the first export and there’s nothing to go with, or maybe the biathlon restrictions didn’t like - then you should think about a more flexible system of contests and ratings, spectacularly adapted for different tanks

    By the way, tankers, a question for you. I noticed that the tanks of the teams of Russia and Belarus at the time of starting out had black exhaust, the rest had gray. Is it possible to assume on this basis that the Russian and Belarusian teams have 72-ki with a V92 diesel (1130 hp), and the rest - with a B84 (840 hp)? Another sign - today our crew dispersed the tank to a speed of more than 70 km / h

      I think it would not be fair to drive OUR on more powerful engines. Well, some experts got into a mess .. Black exhaust means rings on pistons got hooked / drove cars more than others /, for power - not critical - only eats more oil, but it’s worth it there will save laughing

        NATO exercises usually have:
        1) platoon attack (collective action)
        2) day firing at several distances
        3) night shooting
        4) search for targets in the green and defeat them.
        At 70 km / h they do not accelerate ...

    Disgustingly organized information support for games. The site http://armygames2018.mil.ru/tank_biathlon_ru in the middle of the first day generally freezes. Racing schedules are practically nowhere to be found (I accidentally got somewhere exel - a file with the schedule). There is no final table of results. On tvzvezda.ru, the picture freezes regularly. More or less, you can only look at YouTube. The commentator is generally SHIDEVER. The crews are confused. Says nonsense. The competitions themselves are well organized. But everything is spoiled by the disgusting organization of information support

    It would be interesting as in Europe, when everyone participates in their tanks, (of different brands), and then when our everyone gave away the T-72 to everyone (except the Chinese) it’s somehow not very interesting (by the way, we’ll destroy our tanks, let Uganda came on their own, by the way they have Leopard2 (buffalo) and T-90 in service)

    In the third race of the day, teams from Russia, Serbia and Iran met. According to the results of the race, Russia became the leader with the result of 21 minute 2 seconds. The second came the Serbs, spending on the passage of the route 26 minutes 2 seconds, and closed the top three Iranians. Their result is 27 minutes 39 seconds.

    A bit wrong, because after the races, the data is still adjusted. Russia - 19.47, Serbia - 25.1. Last year, the record was 19.10, of course Russia.

      And here is another tablet, already self-written:

      The table shows the color of 12 leading countries, as well as Mongolia and Venezuela. Mongolia and Venezuela have not yet competed with second crews, but if they show results similar to the first race, they may well displace India and Tajikistan from the leading countries. At risk and Kyrgyzstan.
      What else is visible in the table. Iran, Armenia and Syria show close results, and the cost of mistakes and mistakes for these teams is high. The same is true for Kazakhstan and Belarus, the second Kazakh crew showed excellent results.
      And here is the same, but in the graph:

    I agree, but they took off their shoes after squeezing out a speed of 75 km / h from the tank, which decently exceeds the maximum permissible speed for the T-72b3 and it seems like it’s still a speed record for such a tank in this biathlon. Yes, and still the first came , just wanted to hobble on the last lap laughing .Although the Tajiks disappointed, they had continuous errors on the track and lost tracks because they wanted to catch up. As ours are not taught, but alas, conscripts are conscripts. It’s even a shame for them, I’ve been in Tajikistan for the seventh year. Well, the Syrians respect very good results for the first time.
