          The question is, why did Russia begin to escalate new tensions, incite militaristic and pseudo-patriotic hysteria?

            Well, why immediately mister? Gurkhan has a very efficient blog, with lots of interesting things. Apparently a man got up on the wrong foot.
            But in essence of the article relating to technology, he correctly described everything.
            And also, I liked how the photo showed the increased dynamics of the tank :).

              As for the technique and how I determined the dynamics of the tank from the photograph, I am silent. Perhaps the author is a prodigy himself and his comrades are super smart people, but making NATO "white and fluffy" was clearly a hangover

                In the photo there is junk. The chassis is the same T-72, the tower is a la "tiger-leopard". Well, some kind of "tuning", "sports" tank. Much also depends on the skill of the crew.

                  This "Blokher" developed a vigorous activity. Below is one of his pearls. "Mows" under the liberal, but in fact pours mud on people and technology.

                  "... If Russia stops whipping up militaristic hysteria, perhaps NATO will consider this possibility. But before speaking for this, you would better reveal in more detail the" NATO plans ": how much, where and what they have placed" grams. " You can take into account the composition of the national armies of neighboring states, which are part of the NATO that threatens you. And then compare with the number of at least one ZVO. I hope this will be enough to understand who is really threatening whom. Well, also estimate the chronology of NATO's "deployment" in comparison with the activity of our "peaceful" army ... At least according to media reports - more serious analytics are not required here. In general, I advise you to change the party - they cry for you on Igor Korotchenko's blog ... "

                  Here is the very "fifth column" for you. And it doesn't smell of any interest in technology. Exceptional denigration of Russia and Russian. No agreement or objection will be accepted ...

              And what does the technique have to do with it? Do you seriously think that KAMAZ trucks participating in rally raids have anything to do with production cars? Yeah, they have the same KAMAZ nameplate)))). Well, who said tanks are prohibited from tuning? Is it in the rules?

              Well, and that the author spread over the text - what are all the bastards? Incidentally, sporting events, in addition to advertising value, have the function of developing and testing new technical solutions. It is clear from the text that ours are developing and testing different options, and the Chinese have begun to do the same. Did they send papier-mâché tanks? No. You think ours is not interested in what they came up with? Can we begin to test tankers for doping? Yeah, the Chinese won, and we caught them in the toilet. Disqualification, damn it!

              Yes, let them have fun, if only there was no war !!!

                About Kamaz
                After repeated victories, the point of participation was only serial cars.
                Kamaz launched a vehicle for the needs of the Ministry of Emergency Situations..... The Ministry of Emergency Situations is happy - only you are not happy.

                  Are you serious that serial cars are participating in rally raids? Perhaps they should go homologation, I do not argue, but in any case this is an exclusive project and piece assembly. By the way, the designers, workers and crews of KAMAZ have been proving to everyone for many years that they are the best in the world.

                  And I am dissatisfied with the fact that the author of the article diligently pursues the idea that the Russians were frightened of the Chinese and used dishonest methods. Yes, let the Chinese try, maybe they’ll finally come up with something sensible, they’ll not all do copying, then, look, we’ll learn.

                  In general, I see no reason to organize a sports competition from an interesting show. Tanks on the battlefield are competing. And not only among themselves. And here, well, let the guys ride, shoot for pleasure, I see no reason for tantrums.

                You forgot about the logic that De Rooy is a constant participant in the rally, the car seems to have never been assembled in Russia, and it is not at all serial, but something cannot win in any way, MAN last won at the last Paris-Dakar before closing, they also seem to be on their own non-Russian, although there were times of ours on 406 "Moskvich" in international RALLY everyone did!

              And for participation in the biathlon there must be standards: mass from and to, specific power is limited, otherwise it will come down to removing the armor by cutting or replacing body parts and forcing motors at the expense of the resource.

              Gurkhan is right - Americans They are not going to fight Russia... They themselves are not going to. But they would gladly fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, Pole or Balt. And they don't really need Russia itself - they want to repeat the goodies they got during the Second World War, when they emerged from the terrible crisis six years before the war with an economy that was more than half of the world's. Gurkhan is too narrow-minded, he should just talk about tanks and not get involved in politics, because he doesn't know anything about it. Shoemaker, don't talk above your boot!

          So the US-NATO threat, in my opinion, is nothing more than a myth! But, after Russia began to rattle weapons, incl. and in the "sports" field, NATO was simply forced to respond adequately.

          Accidentally NATO members accepted the countries of the former Warsaw Pact, the Baltic countries, armed Saakashvili and set her on us. They began to build missile defense areas against Iran, and all this was before Ukraine. They must be so peaceful. We saw their peacefulness in "sheep's clothing". And the strong is always powerless to blame !!!

        in Europe, military tank competitions were also resumed. This year, the Strong Europe Tank Chellenge took place there, and then the largest training exercise since 1989 "Anakonda-2016". I will note once again that these events are only a response to our "surprise checks" and "biathlon". Moreover, the answer is more thoughtful and meets the goals of improving combat training. To do this, it is enough to compare the rules of the competition, their regulations
        .
        If everything is aimed at creating a beautiful show and PR effect,
        then they have a check of the real level of training.

        In political terms, the author may be mistaken, but in everything else she is not very poorly versed.

        Therefore, the article is definitely a plus.

        We must separately thank the Chinese for an honest concession, showing their tank for the competition.

        Surprised by their decision to put air filters on the tower. It seems there is a place under the tower. Apparently drove the tank in the wind tunnel and determined the place of least dust during movement.
        Yes, there will not swallow water. However, the mobility of the tower was limited.

        It looked like a tank for football, like in a potato ..

          If we do not consider the article from the point of view of politics, we can conclude that the author interestingly described the technical situation.

          But many commentators wedge on the mistakes of others. Therefore, I propose cons.

          You already decide what the article is about NATO or about the technical tricks that the organizers of the competition made it possible to admit.

          Either bring the rules in line or let's make "kartoshkin" tank football from virtual to reality.

          It's not pleasant for the minus. They see the "red rag" and lose their mind.

            If we do not consider the article from the point of view of politics, we can conclude that the author interestingly described the technical situation.
            Yes, he wrote complete nonsense and this is just not considering the political color. Take for example this nonsense:
            Moreover, the answer is more thoughtful and consistent with the goals of improving combat training. To do this, it is enough to compare the rules of the competition, their regulations. If everything is aimed at creating a beautiful show and a PR effect, then they have to check the real level of training. The most interesting thing is that in order to win in our biathlon, the crews are simply forced to violate the rules and instructions for operating the equipment. Hence the injuries of people and the breakdown of equipment. So, two T-72B3M tanks, after biathlon, had to be actually written off.
            We have everything aimed at maximum proximity for the participants, and the show is for the spectators and there is nothing wrong with that because 1: the show gathers spectators and money 2: the show popularizes the army among the younger generation 3: it attracts new participants (it is always interesting to compete and test your strength without a real war with crews from other countries, to assess their level of moral, physical and military training). In addition, selection for these competitions is held in all tank units and there is already serious competition, the motivation to serve more responsibly, proactively and creatively increases. And it is in a real battle that they break the rules because the rules do not always = survival and completing the task, and injuries are in the army to be able to withstand all this there are not muslin young ladies in a car, but men and warriors. The equipment broke down? It means its reliability is not at a sufficient level and this is hello to the designers and technical personnel and this is an extra test of it in real combat conditions and to draw the right conclusions
            You already decide what the article is about NATO or about the technical tricks that the organizers of the competition made it possible to admit.
            An article of confusion, therefore, it is about everything in general and about nothing in particular. And the fact that someone tunes his tanks in this is not shameful because in a war (God forbid) you can meet with someone like that.

          The tank was specially tailored for "sports" purposes. Hence the placement of air filters on the tower. Connecting pipes are visible under the tower. In biathlon, a large turn of the tower is not needed, it is enough to turn a couple of degrees when firing, and the tank goes along the track with a forward looking tower.

    And why did the author, in an article on technology, embody his vision of politics, even accuse Russia of aggression? This is so that it is easier to read about the Chinese, or that everyone nods at the machine - yes, they say, ay-yi, what we are! .. Uninterested ...
    Each country prepares for top-level competitions. And even applies forbidden techniques, the example of not allowing our athletes to the Olympics is obvious here.
    But why is the special training of the T-72 equated to "dishonesty"? Maybe we should speak at BT-7? Or on a cart? We put the best, albeit not serial. And everyone would do that, not just the Chinese, if they could. But everyone (EVERYONE!) Takes our tanks. They also do not want to lose dry. And it is right.

    I found the author of this opus, Aleksey Khlopotov, who writes a blog about tankers. The very first question that he was mockingly asked at the forum was this: "It turns out that all NATO plans to deploy troops near our borders are a response to the militaristic pseudo-patriotic tank biathlon! Alexey tell me as an analyst, if Russia does not conduct tank biathlon, will NATO have to withdraw its troops?"

    A robust and moderately sarcastic question.

    Of course, there are interesting facts in the article (and is it facts?). But it is saturated with something rotten. It was as if a donkey walking past a chamomile in a field (I apologize for the metaphor). However, the floor is for professionals. And in the end - the final word will be said by the results of biathlon!

      And here is Alexei's answer: If Russia stops whipping up militaristic hysteria, perhaps NATO will consider this possibility as well. But before speaking for this, you would better reveal in more detail the "plans of NATO": how much, where and what they have placed "grams". To the heap you can take into account the composition of the national armies of neighboring states, which are part of the NATO that threatens you. And then compare with the number of at least one ZVO. I hope this will be enough to understand who is really threatening whom. Well, also estimate the chronology of NATO's "deployment" in comparison with the activity of our "peaceful" army ... At least according to media reports, more serious analysis is not required here. In general, I advise you to change the party - they cry for you on Igor Korotchenko's blog ...

        They tolerated us relatively when we were drab and wretched, and patiently looked at Yeltsin's drunken dances.

        And now - a different story. Another time. Other layouts. Judging by your sayings, WE threaten NATO?

        Before going to bed, I advise you to sing more often, at least to yourself, a song to the words of E. Yevtushenko "Do Russians want wars?"

    This is a bit unclear - who has the tall one then???
    And another question, how can one conclude on the type of installed diesel engine on the back of the MTO ??? Only on the basis of good cooling? Feeling, the author got acquainted with the tips, but he doesn’t understand the essence. By the way, about the higher mobility of Chinese tanks compared to 72 I heard before biathlon 2015.

    Have you heard about missile defense? I think you are an erudite and knowledgeable person, it makes no sense to suck the essence of missile defense as an offensive system 100500 times. The ground can operate as strike complexes at the locations of our strategic nuclear forces, and the BIUS AJIS, along with the RIM - ** missiles, are caught by our ICBMs in the upper stages. So much effort and money is not thrown out for the sake of PR.

    But yes, we are pumping, on our territory we are chasing tanks. Are you fucked up, peace-loving Myrikans at the border are already mobilizing battalions, digging mines with all your hands with shovels to fight Iran, Korea ... and dandruff ?!
    Really, militarily, no one is threatening us

    Well, yes, in the 17th century they went, 18 went, on the 20th go to us, but at 21st, nonsense, they won’t come, why do they need all this?

    The phrase - "speed, armor, fire" should always be understood only in aggregate, and not in isolation from each other, as we clearly see in this article.

    Great review. Only or not the tankman wrote or not about that. It's about tank biathlon, right? And what have the sights, the LMS and the engine power? No, if you smear all the time, and then cut the penalty circles, then speed is needed, of course. In general, judging by the fact. as we were taught, this is not shooting, but comedy. From a place, from a flat concrete platform, with good visibility, at ridiculous distances. In 1971-73, we did the same on the T-34-85 and T-55. Yes, in KDVO then there was such a technique. With a miss from the gun - the score was 2 points and the machine gun could no longer shoot. And the anti-aircraft machine gun (DShK) was shot not at a fucking shield, depicting a helicopter. and on a rocket on a parachute. Bullshit this tank biathlon. Although spectacular.

    Tank biathlon is just a comparison of ratings, without combat use.
    I am proud of my ancestors, who won the most important "tank biathlon": they tore the most technologically advanced and cool (at that time) tank troops (technologies?) Of the union of the gay European states (the then EU) to shreds with our "poor" and "primitive" tanks (airplanes, machine guns, cannons, etc.).

    So where are your vaunted technologies? Which were shattered into dust by our grandfathers, fathers and great-grandfathers?

    Let them feel cool (putting tuned cars against serial cars), but we remember: a month (1945) was enough for our grandfathers for the super-cool Japanese group (which "blighted" all of China (every 10 times more in population) for several years , ceased to exist ...

    1. Why, referring to the fact that the rivals T-72 is not in service, do the Chinese appear on tanks of their own production?
    2. Why are competition rules forbidden for each country to perform on the latest domestic cars?
    3. Of course, - the training of the crews of the tank will be mildly worthless. 12 months of service is about nothing. (in the missile division, the so-called Topol mech-water MAZ-543 received the necessary driving skills and maintenance of the fixed unit only after 13-14 months of service, moreover, the first 6 months: give the key, wipe it here, keep it here, keep it here - it's in the most optimal version. So the crew is only contract soldiers ??? So we are fooling ourselves !!!
    4. So this biathlon is just bullshit and it does not give a real picture either about the state of military equipment (it is "spoiled" in order to make it ....), nor about the quality of preparation of combat crews, nor about a possible combat situation on the field battle.
    5. And if we recognize all this "kitchen" from the inside, then we will begin to spit.
    Or am I wrong?

    Chet nonsense begins from the very second paragraph of the article:
    1) As for "Ushka" it did not help. And you know why? Because the biathlon track was specially designed for diesel tanks. The GTE spins up for a long time, and therefore does not like sharp acceleration and deceleration - a car with a turbine flies like a swallow on long straight sections. But short sections with many turns and obstacles are the lot of cars with diesel engines, especially diesel engines with driven superchargers.By the way, this circumstance predetermined good results of the teams that performed on conventional T-72B with a V-84M engine (840hp). which instead of turbocharging was PNTs. " - complete crap !!!
    At work, a colleague - a mechanic drive of a turbine T-80, tells the delivery of a course problem: "Gas to the floor, the turbine spins up to screeching, I let go of the" mountain ", while the box is on the second. hatch-on combat) !!!
    As for the T-80, you can read from Murakhovsky. (Not Marakhovsky, namely Murakhovsky).

    Something tells me that for an existing far from smooth and even competition strip, an engine for 1500 horses is an overkill. Arabs a couple of years ago on this highway and with an engine of 780 horses managed to topple their T-72s onto the tower on a bend.

      + wild fuel consumption, increased wear and a biting price tag of the engine. All these tunings will turn the tank biathlon Formula 1 with shooting.

        Yes, to hell with it, with wear. There is enough fuel for one stage, the tank can be filled for a quarter. For the Chinese, driving away several stages to advertise their boxes is enough.
        In a combat vehicle, the balance of "necessity - sufficiency - price" characteristics is important. The Chinese in life are in some kind of eternal experiment, as with gadgets. It seems to work, but in some places there is some sort of overkill with sparkles and incomprehensible bells and whistles, which, in fact, is called Chinese.

          Yes, I mean, I would like to see a competition of battle tanks, and not something that just reminds them in appearance. I agree about the Chinese, it’s not even Chinese, but the Far East as a whole (Koreans, Japanese, etc.).

    It would be nice if T-90 and T-80 took part in our teams, for example Russia-1 (on T-72) Russia-2 (on T-80) and Russia-3 (on T-90). Of course, you can equalize the chances by T-72 extra seconds.

    The author is Russophobe, but when he mentions Russia for some reason he writes "our", hmm. it's strange how you can consider yourself a part of the people and at the same time throw mud at it, some kind of cognitive dissonance.

    P.S-Modernized T-80 I would also like to see at the future biathlon.))

    Not a weird, but rather a haunted and very unpatriotic article.

    I can catch the author lying at least three times, as I was on the Biathlon twice, lived next to the tankers of all participating countries and talked a lot:
    - Ours did not learn to drive tanks in factories, because ours had one conscript in one crew, and two in the second. And they came from their districts according to the test results. Is it a precise information.
    - The Chinese are VERY bad at owning their cars. VERY. Only the Mongols are steeper than them, who in the first biathlon sank two tanks in a ditch. Plus (or rather, minus) - the Chinese technique is extremely unreliable. The caterpillars alone break regularly. And the engines praised by the author often fail, which forces the Chinese to call a "remka" on the field, which is why they are waiting for an incredibly long time.
    - ALL participants are invited to come in their cars. Everyone, except the Chinese, rent cars from us, from the Moscow Region. They don’t bring their cars. Nobody bothers them to finish their chariots and tear everyone and everything. But - for some reason - they’re not being taken.
    So, lied once (three times) ...

    If an article begins with gross lies and rigging of facts, one can say 100 percent that there will be a Russophobic article interspersed with truth. You will read again the phrase - "The fact is that when the Americans agreed to participate in the 2014 season competitions in their Abrams equipped with a 1500-strong gas turbine engine, in the Russian Defense Ministry the people got a little frightened - it is no secret that in the Tank Biathlon, according to the plan of the organizers, only and exclusively the Russian team "Blatant and stupid lies in all respects should win."

    So far, this is a current publicity. It was previously stated if anyone remembers when the participating countries will come to the tank biathlon with their tanks, then Russia will also introduce other tank developments. Yes, and a prize pool is needed for interest. And participants who arrived without tanks must fully pay for them and be able to upgrade them by their standards without violating the combat and defense structure of the fighting vehicle!

    One of the most important factors on the battlefield for a tank is the search and detection of a target, as well as its identification, which is not the case in tank biathlon.

    I especially laughed at the phrase about a short-term increase in power to 1400 liters on the T-80 (what kind of modifications are UE and UA - they look like words from a song!!!) - does this mean that you need to stop the car, remove the limiters and.... forward?!
    Has the author heard about the T-80 only from “friends”?
    The T-80 AS (U) modification has a GTD 1250 engine - but this power is STAND, the power on the bus is 1200 l/s, on previous models of the vehicle the engine is GTD-1000, the power is STAND, the power is 970 l/s.
    The T-80 is not afraid of turns or slopes - the car is braked as standard - with the RSA pedal (adjustable nozzle apparatus pedal) and not the gas pedal. When working with the standard controls, the T-80 easily goes 480-490 km (this is about fuel efficiency) - the author is incompetent in what he writes about.
    Determine the engine power from the photo - pearl. Where did he see two cooling system fans?

    Is Russia to blame? And the fact that NATO bases are moving towards the borders of Russia in Poland, Czechoslovakia, the Baltic states of Romania, is it Russia’s fault, and is it that the Americans are smart in Ukraine, as they want, should Russia also turn a blind eye?
    This journalist who had been paid would have to moderate his ardor in the stream of anti-Russian accusations, he is still far from the Clintonshe, but he needs to filter the top, such "experts".

    Yes, we, the occupiers, are like that.
    The main thing is to win, but how and who... is not important.
    Determining the type of engine by the exhaust air grilles is cool.
    (although the same solution for a T55-based armored vehicle comes from nowhere, it’s just convenient)
    Well, yes, no one knows how to make engines better than the Germans. From the point of view of Vyrus.
    Japan? Well, what are you...
    Korea? Can't be!
    China? Yes, you ate too much henbane padded jacket! Oh no, not like that.. Yes, you got drunk on cotton wool with glass wash!
    Yes, cotton wool, but the valiant defenders recently got drunk on methanol-based glass cleaner.
    It started out normal, but ended with stupid anti-Russian propaganda.
    2000 SGA bases around the world? Wow, they're so cute...
    They are simply putting the entire NATO world on their military-industrial complex.
