Serbia in the finals of the Tank Biathlon

The tank team of the Serbian Armed Forces placed today, at the training field Alabino in Russia, in the finals of the Tank Biathlon, showing that they have the quality equal to that of largest armies in the world. On Saturday, at the start of the finals of the most attractive competition at the International Military Games - Tank Biathlon, along the tank with the flag of the Republic of Serbia, tanks of the Russian Federation, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Kazakhstan will compete. The competition ended today for India, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and the last year's vice-champion Armenia.

In two tied and very close races, teams of eight semi-finalists showed exceptional skills in driving tanks, overcoming anti-tank obstacles and solving tasks of fire. In relation to the stage of the individual races, when each crew competed in their own tanks, relay race was driven in the semifinals, which means that the crews took turns on one combat vehicle. The training of aimers this time had much more influence on the outcome of the race, because, for each miss from a cannon or composite machine guns, the teams had to drive so-called penal circles.

The finals of the Tank Biathlon and the closing ceremony of the International Military Games 2015 will be attended by the delegation of our country headed by Minister of Defence Bratislav Gasic.
