      Have you watched tank biathlon the other day? There, Armenia started first, and came last, with the result of 45 minutes or even more. And ours passed in 17,5 minutes.

        To be more precise, in one of the starts they were 3rd, in the last they were the last. One small point - the crews are mainly equipped with conscripts.
