International army games ended in victory for Russia

The victory of Russia in all major competitions ended the International Army Games. Today, on Saturday, 13 August, the final competitions "ARMI-2016" were held at the Alabino training ground and the winners were awarded.



Our country became the initiator of the first stories international military games, comparable to the intensity of passions and entertainment from the Olympics. They can also be called a knightly tournament of the XXI century.

Of course, all armies learn to fight. And nevertheless, let the warriors of the world fight with each other on the ranges, finding out in bloodless battles which one of them is the best.
For the first time such competitions initiated by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu were held in 2013. In addition to Russia, teams from Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan participated in them. The idea itself turned out to be so surprising and attractive that three years later the 2016 team from 121 states with a total number of more than 19 thousands of people participated in “ARMI-3,5”, as the games are now called. Compared to last year, the number of teams increased 2,5 times, and the number of participants in the Games - 2,2 times.

In the most spectacular battle - Tank Biathlon, 17 teams from 15 countries came together. Even distant Zimbabwe sent their tank crews. They did not show outstanding results, which is not surprising. In Zimbabwe, in service with the Chinese version of the Soviet T-55. These are very old cars. And at the Alabino training ground, black tankers had to manage the newest version of the T-72B3. It's all the same as a pilot of a piston plane to land in a jet and expect him to perform aerobatics. They didn’t manage to load the gun, the machine gun, or the gloh tank on the ascent. Nevertheless, the guys, who are not very strong in appearance, withstood all the stages of the biathlon, they did not leave the race.

Interestingly, the tank crews of a number of NATO countries also expressed a desire to take part in competitions. But for various reasons refused. Quite possibly, they simply did not want to lose, if not Zimbabwe, then Angola, especially to China, India and Russia.

Anyway, those tank The competitions held this spring in Germany did not show any outstanding results for NATO tankers. The United States did not even enter the top three of NATO leaders, losing to Poland. By the way, the Poles went around the American Abrams on their version of the T-72.

On the "Tank Biathlon" the Chinese performed on their cars. They were much more powerful engines than the T-72B3. And, according to experts, the best sighting and computing systems. It was expected that the tankers from the Middle Kingdom immediately take the lead. The tank really flew like a bird, but there were many unacceptable when shooting misses. Penalties according to the rules of biathlon and penalty points negated the speed characteristics of the tank.
Moreover, at the final races the crew of the Russian T-72B3 easily avoided the Chinese car, which in general was surprising. Perhaps it was the fatigue of tankers from the Celestial Empire.

The first final competition in "Alabino" was the competition of motorized infantry and marines on the BMP-2. The Chinese here again performed in their car. It was a significantly upgraded BMP-2 with the original combat module. The Chinese then took the lead, then they fell behind, and the firing from them did not always get along. In the most persistent struggle, the crews of the Russian army nevertheless became the first. In second place are the crews of the People’s Liberation Army of China, in third place are the crews from Kazakhstan.

The prizes are also located in the “Tank Biathlon”, which, by the intensity of the passions, was difficult to compare with anything. It is a pity tankers from Belarus. They performed well throughout the entire biathlon. And in the final races just out of luck. Shooting somehow did not ask, and then the tank broke, it had to be changed.

Here is the information provided by the Office of the Press Service and Information of the Ministry of Defense on the basis of the games "ARMI-2016".

      the Chinese will draw conclusions and begin to win, especially since they have a head start in the new tanks. And what is necessary to perform on the old T72, when there are new T90? The same applies to BMP2, why should I speak at BMP2 when there is no shortage of BMP3? Why is it necessary to speak on exactly the old technique?

        Maybe because the T-90 is not the most massive tank in the RA, and district contests are held at the hard worker T-72?

          A fallen off track roller of a Chinese tank - pleasing to the eye ...
          Upset our anti-aircraft machine gun which constantly wedged.
          The sight of the Chinese tank in accuracy is certainly no worse than ours.
          But here with the thrust of their tank, the Chinese were clearly deceiving (overestimated), on the straight lines our 72 did the Chinese.
          Hurray Comrades !!!
          With Victory !!!

          The ideology of war games or competition is clear.

          But it is not clear where the competitive principle is laid. If between people, then the technique should be the same. And if between equipment, then why isn’t the modern one already received by the troops used?

          If anyone understands, give an extended explanation.

            Well, in continuation of thought.

            In any case, the capabilities of military equipment will be inferior to the endurance ability of the crews. When they say that the Chinese are tired, somewhere a marathon runner or a trucker smiled.

            Well, by the way. I have familiar truck drivers who, after an hour of familiarization with the tank, could compete. And they don’t even need an instructor.

            So what is the competition?

            People or technology? And if all together, then how to set objective criteria?

        High speeds, correspondingly large loads and deformations. This is what was mentioned in the forecasts when our neighbors from the Middle Kingdom brought their boxes to the lists. Lightweight as much as possible, with more powerful engines, they seemed to some "specialists" doomed to win. But nobody canceled the laws of physics, and the Chinese only confirmed this. As predicted, they loosened up their sights and they had no choice but to shoot in the white light and waste time on free throws, because it took more time and other specialists to adjust the sight. Now attention!

For the Chinese army, this is not a game, but an opportunity to learn from our knowledge and experience, which is why the Chinese participate in such competitions to the maximum. And congratulations to our team !!!

    The Chinese did not perform badly in the tank biathlon in previous times, if in 2014 they were third, then in 15m with a second lag. Today is already a tough claim to win. The Chinese also corrected the shooting and, most importantly, prepared their cars better, remember how many times they stalled in previous races. I would not be surprised if after the games there will be information about the upgrade of their Type-96A.
    So the Chinese are not advancing because our men have performed worse, no - the Chinese have added and next year there will be cutting to the blood, any mistake will cost 1th place.

    That's right, the basic T-72 is in service with all the participating countries (this equalizes the chances of the crews) and the Chinese tank "Type 96А" is copied from the export version of the Soviet tank T-72.

    The fact that the Chinese tank has a more powerful engine didn’t even allow it to be equal in speed to our 72nd. Our engine overtook it effortlessly and went into the gap without straining much.

      The fact that the Chinese tank has a more powerful engine

      Because it is not a matter of power. F1 has an engine power of more than 1t hp, but this does not mean at all that they can replace a less powerful engine on a 45t truck.
      Power without reference to other indicators indicates only one thing - how much fuel this engine burns efficiently.
      In addition, on such a highway as in Alabino, where there are many obstacles and few high-speed ones, the traction characteristics of the car come to the fore. And this is a complicated engineering calculation. Demanding, besides, a lot of experiments.

      Ours in the semifinals and finals drove different cars. The tanks were all the same. With the exception of China, Belarus and Kazakhstan. Moreover, Belarusians and Kazakhs used tanks with engines of 840 forces. Which did not stop them from showing excellent results in the finals.
      I already wrote about power above. Without taking into account other performance characteristics, net power serves only for the theoretical calculation of fuel consumption.

    Very spectacular games, large-scale and interesting, can not be compared with anything they saw earlier. The closing ceremony blurred the effect. I watched on TV when they started to show their big screen something flickered, frames ran. Could I give out a signal to the TV people on the cable. Awarding teams with medals, too, the Chinese did not take off their hats, after the Kazakhs it looked like disrespect for the organizers, it seemed to me. In general, we need to regulate this nuance. Well, and awarding the cup to our team. Representatives of the Air Forces, Navy and ground forces were called. the cup, the second letter, and the third nothing at all. It was a shame, they could not at least give something. Thoughts on the order of the competitions and the equipment presented. I consider the competition of teams on the technique of the country of the host game mandatory. The technique can be numbered and play who will perform .No need to arrange a free training ground for foreign equipment. Allow to transport foreign trains across the country I think that fighting vehicles are not far-sighted, stupid and harmful

    Let me disagree with you! Especially in the last paragraph: it is possible and necessary to carry foreign equipment! For this, they invite you to find out better the technique of friends-partners.

    There is no information on the 2016 year, but on the first in the 2014 m, the tanks of the team received lots pre-prepared and as identical as possible (with the exception of the Chinese, they were on their own), and then the vehicles were already at the complete disposal of the crews. For replacement there was a common park, provided as necessary in order of priority.

      At this year's Games, the conditions remained the same. If I'm not mistaken, either Zimbabwe, or Kenya, mastered the technique "on the march". In their homeland, they are armed with Chinese copy-paste, of the second generation. But the natives were delighted!

    As I understand it, the T-90 is not put up because with equal engines with the modernized T-72, it is heavier and will lose in speed. And the shooting conditions make it possible to shoot almost on equal footing and the T-90 has no special advantages over the T-72B3. If you approach radically, then you can set the T-80 and chase with the Chinese ...

      Comrades from Nizhny Tagil, work very closely with our team. Having assessed the difficult terrain of the landfills, we came to the conclusion that the tattered driving mode and short sections of varying complexity level the advantage of the turbocharged 90th over the 72nd. Moreover, the last sample allowed us to participate in competitions, the maximum number of participating countries. Something like this.

    I am sure that Natavians are terribly afraid of crap, therefore they do not participate. To compete in a fair fight with Russians, Kazakhs, Chinese and Belarusians is clearly beyond their ability! Their level is Zimbabwe, but Angola is not a fact!
    So let them sit modestly on the sidelines and watch how real fighter athletes compete! And emanate impotent malice from their exceptional failure.

    Good time of day.

There we are talking about the team of the Ministry of Emergenciesand not the Navy of the RF Armed Forces. So that’s all right.
