Biathlon in ..... army tanks.
Next week, the tankers of the Armed Forces of Belarus will take part in international competitions "tank biathlon" in Russia. Total will compete four crew - from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia. Instead, the military ski athletes - steel truck T-72B, a stick replaces powerful diesel engine, but instead of shooting from small-bore sporting rifle - shooting a staff of 125-mm artillery shells and exercises performed by anti-aircraft machine gun NSVT, guided anti-tank missile launches. This biathlon can participate only true professionals.

A few days left before the end of the preparation. On the 230th military range near Baranovichi and spend a driver driving skills at maximum speed, overcome barriers and trenches. The crew is trained in loading shells and shooting at targets at a distance of 900 to 2000 meters.
The main task facing the tank commander - the first attempt to hit a target at a range of the helicopter about 900 meters. If you miss the crew calculated the penalty half a kilometer circle. All - as in the classic biathlon.
One of the most difficult tasks - shooting 125-mm artillery shells, as they say people in black suits "from the board in motion." To hit the target, the tankers have to deploy a tower with a gun at a right angle to the direction of movement. Such an exercise for our tankers - new and poorly trained crew is unlikely immediately to cope with this task. However, frequent exercise doing their job, and hit the target to go to the board - is not a problem.

Competitions in Alabino will consist of several stages. The first essential skill of the driver. He should gain maximum speed and demonstrate the skills to overcome obstacles. In the case of grazing pillars and other violations of the judges will add penalty seconds. So, for the downed pointer to the total travel time route will be added ten seconds. Each error can omit the command line on the bottom of the standings.
In the second stage, after the arrival of the designated firing point the crew has to load ammunition, find the target and start shooting. The distance from the tank to the target - 1800-2200 meters. Under the terms of competition in the slip crew comes to the penalty loop, and if the target is struck - continues to move. The tanks will be held ford rut bridge minefields, it will also have to overcome a few speed sections
The daily routine of the best tank of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus painted every minute. Up at 6 am, breakfast and preparation technique in the park. At 8 o'clock in the tanks lined up at the mound on Russian-Obuz Lesnovsky landfill, crews are instructed. After the head of the class set the task of the members of the crew on the radio sounds the team: "Make!" The powerful 840-horsepower diesel engine breaks the silence still sleeping site. Fresh after the rain the air immediately filled with the smell of oil and diesel fuel. Tank commander sitting on the armor, gestures show each other something like: "Today, you lose!" At the same smile on the faces of the guys. Of course, no matter who wins today, the main test awaits tankers in Russia.

The silence was interrupted by a stern voice radio broadcast manager occupation:
- "First," I "Tower." From performing exercises with firing anti-tank, anti-aircraft machine gun NSVT and high-explosive shells - forward!
At the same time the engine is started roaring steel stopwatch on the tower. Tank gaining the maximum speed on a straight section of the road and, almost without reducing it starts to zigzag on the snake. During the training ground at the site turned into arable land. Powerful truck "semdesyatdvoyki" plow the ground at every turn. The tank was out of sight, but the vibration underfoot clear that soon it will once again be in sight. After a few seconds the tank appears on the horizon, and stops. The crew quickly, but without the hassle jumps from the combat vehicle and starts loading ammunition. Three artvystrelov and guided missiles. To load ammunition for the machine gun made one more stop. Once the shells are loaded, the tank comes out again on the road. The boys performed the standard for more than 30 seconds, the time of the assessment "excellent" - 1 minute 15 seconds.

Tank approaches the boundary of opening fire. Ahead, at a distance of about two kilometers, there is a target. Volley! Guided missile, leaving a red tail, carries a target to smithereens. The radio lessons at the head again revived:
- In the center of the target.
Joy or surprise in the voice of an observer not. Hit in the middle of the target - business as usual in such training

A beep sounds and the tank rushes forward again. The next test - shooting from the board (also known as tankers her flank). All three shots are performed in motion. The guys hit each target, reducing the chances of winning future opponents. Shells with a jeweler's precision hits, sometimes leaving it only on a wooden frame.
After the results appear in the statement of the pros, the tank enters the final stage of the route - fording, rutting and bridge minefields. All the elements are as close to a real track on the Russian site. Tank comes to the finish line, it accelerates to a speed of 60 kilometers or more per hour. Finish.
