Tankers Day 2011. Stalin Line

So, I declare Whereupon report on Day Tankers open.
There will be many bukaf and pictures. The smallness even video.

Since the trip to Line Stalin was in the first place for the child, so the picture will be on most of his personality. And I borrow something from other sources.

I was among the 700 lucky agile, so had complimentary for 2 persons (and my son). And here it is itself





So well-known in narrow circles of office Wargaming.NET, better known as the developer of the game World of Tanks, initiated the celebration of Tankers in the historical-cultural complex "Stalin Line". CAG BE apologizing for the previous school when the "celebration" limited duty "pozdravlyalkoy" appear on the site at the end of the day, the developers decided this time came in a big way. With the support of the administration of "Stalin Line", as well as the Ministry of Defence, Wargaming.NET announced the start of receiving applications for a free invitation. However, having received the first day, more than 700 applications for participation in the event office dealing with invitations rolled (ofigev from the influx of wanting to), suggesting the way to arrive on their own and pay an entrance fee of 20 000 BYR. (about 100 Russian rubles). Print this kartninku on the printer, you can save. And at the same time receive a commemorative badge that allowed pokolbasitsya waterfowl in a bowl and eat in the field kitchen.
Since the complex is located a couple of tens of kilometers from Minsk, together with an invitation to come to the post office and the layout of buses that were supposed to take gamers thirst for a holiday.



So, September 11, 9:40, near the metro station "Stone Gorka." The crowd waiting for a medium-sized. Finally at 9:50 am seemed quartet buses. Not aerobatics, but at least not in the city ...



Actually - go ...



After 20 minutes, we were in place. Gates ajar. Uncle collects assorted pile of sheets with the same picture, next to man fishes from the package "commemorative badges" after she gives newcomers a complex scheme. In fact, this scheme was applied even to the invitation.



People going



Left youth actively mounts the stage, to the right is quiet PT-76, painted a red camouflage.



Go ahead, the central "square". Here row settled another PT-76, SU-100 and a couple of T-10. Passing by visitors expertly clicked his tongue and showed "noobs", "In! This is the IS-3. »
Often adding replicas of how that has circulated therein, and as it it twisted ...



Once a few people quickly in the form of the Red Army obratsa forties rounded up a dozen people in oganizovannuyu crowd, he called her tour group and led to an examination of "Stalin Line". The child was not interested in a tour, I could not tell less than the guide. And to the question "what is Stalin's Line?" The male early puberty issued "Nuu ... this ... line against Hitler ..." In general, we were separated from the group and the calf incurred the site with military equipment of different years.

This, by the way, "Pion»



And here is the actual IS-3



Checking out literally on each, we went to survey the line itself. In its pure form, without the "text", it represents one artillery polukaponir, several bunkers and an observation post. For clarity, along the highway are anti-tank and nadloby, there is an area with barbed wire on the PCB, as well as "a unique exhibition of Russian, Polish and German armored covers, preserved since the First World War.»



Most of the interest attracted a couple of anti-aircraft guns (the wartime and post-war) - the mechanisms aiming to act joy surrounding small fry.



Well that did not aim at the operator



Good frame



Actually, one anti-aircraft gun, a bit bigger)))



Another funny moment - designer of "do it yourself" parts of the Stug III and PzKfw III.



And its Regulations



All PT-waters cry ...
If someone does not understand - this is Shtug ...

Somehow unnoticed, we took to the field. Suddenly a man in a vest, carry bags and puts pegs with pieces of protective tape, saw us, shouted something very loud. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the fact that we are in the area of ​​flash-bangs and bookmarks we'd better get out of here. And confirmed that the sergeant, we missed the "breakthrough».



Well, to hell with him. Moreover, the near IR №135 stood something curious. Namely - a pair of missile trucks with trailers to transport tanks.



Well, the tanks themselves, of course - T-34-85 and T-72. Until them climb only uncle in camouflage. Immediately felt the hand of the Ministry of Defense). But while the tanks did not let anyone, so we headed to the indoor park, where there is a valid technique that is used for demonstration performances.



But here I was waiting bummer. The technique just started "undermining", so all extraneous removed from the park. Pichal ...



Attention shifted to our line of aviation and air defense exhibits
This nozzle MiG-31

It was nearly one o'clock, and people somehow became gradually to flock to the podium, in front of which are played and all the "show". At the beginning of the second to the "scene" went up a couple of cadets in dress uniform, and it turned out that the Ministry of Defence attended the tanks did not stop. Concert. With patriotic overtones ... Ufff ... I had to endure forty minutes. Not to say that it was very bad, but people gathered not for this. On the other hand, do not be a concert, great uncle in uniform is likely "clamped" to the tanks.



Be that as it may, the "scene" was cleared and the clearing in front of the audience left three policemen.



Suddenly the plane for several minutes circling in the air, swooped on the trio in black uniforms, and ... bang !!! The policemen and lay scattered. A minute later the right crawled unknown German soldiers hell with the department.



The soldiers dismounted, horseradish went left and got behind the houses. In the air, the first plane landed second and Napara they started to "bomb" zahvatichkov. I must say that it looked very natural when the aircraft at low level flight passed low over the field and bang !!! Moreover, in the elegant bend the plane fell to 15-20 meters! It is very low! Alas, the chatter of automatic guns under the wings and track heaving earth, we have not seen - sport aircraft, yet). A pity ...



While the essence of the matter, the left got out another unknown German horseradish, but with the tower. On the other side of the hill it seemed to BT-7 and something around half a dozen Soviet soldiers



BT-shka lived briefly in a couple of minutes to get into the side, and beautifully puffed.



But all of a sudden because of the hill seemed to T-34-85.



An unknown German hell with turret hurried to hide behind the corpse of the BT-7. Thirty decided to take a lighter frag, effectively broke the house and took vanshotom HHX without tower



HHX with a tower shot from ambush than bedrooms and was destroyed by the second shot. Came to the rescue Marines finished off mehvoda. Epic paintings port only weakness sound effects on T-34-85, "shot" of 85 mm guns sounded very weak, even compared with the same 45 mm BT-7.



But the triumph of Soviet armor hour has not yet come. Right crawled already become familiar PT-76 in camouflage and with a German cross on the board. Obviously he was assigned the role of "Panther". Thirty ogrebla lyuley and froze.



Then again, all at once - in NNNNNA Bochin!



Hto here?
And here it is - the beautiful 44-ka with a tank landing on the armor



PT-76 is lit by him at full speed drives Gas-67B with 45 mm gun on a trailer, followed by dusty gas-AA ("lorry") and bringing up the rear of the ZIS-5 is already light. While the participants of the rally were directed ottseplyalist-shoot was no longer anyone.



"The queen of the fields" went into a melee, captured a few survivors of the Germans. One, however, lay in the legs, begging for forgiveness, and then sprinted to escape. And there was a shot of the three shafts under the approving roar from the crowd.
Victory!



"Padded" tanks were on the move, approaching closer to the podium. People immediately sypanul on the field - to look, feel and photograph.



Someone screamed into a megaphone, trying to calm the audience, return them to the place, promising that they will get it all, but a little later. As it turns out, is even a solo performance of T-72.



But what it is, I have no idea. As we rushed to the calf in the opposite direction - to the shooting range. Alas, we were disappointed - there was no ammunition. Three hours visitors shot 500 rounds of ammunition. But promised is about to bring up a new party.
But the people did not have that enabled touch-pull real military weapons. The presence at the time there: AKM rifle Mosin, Mauser carbine and SKS carbine. My dearly beloved Stg 44 took "at war." But it brought "Revolver."
By the way, my child is not mine, but looked painfully comical)



Assortment



Hungry, we decided to look for the very same "field kitchen". Found already three pieces. The menu - barley porridge, bread, oatmeal cookies and tea))). Classics of the genre. But turn to him were such that while standing - again hungry. And next turned souvenir trade. T-shirts, mugs, magnets - like all other people ... But the price ... One unprepossessing mug with a tank cost 50,000 BYR (250 Russian rubles.) That does not deliver ... In the next tent with the inscription "landing on the tanks" avid gamers were cut on laptops in ... well, you understand ...
Speaking of! We returned to the shooting range, a child with a serious mien vypulil bursts of "Kalash" and we went to look for, where is the ride ...

Experience has shown that we did the right thing did not break into the first rows ... Try to look or pofotografiruyu when there IS
