[QUOTE=Sableye;41875242]this isn't a biathalon the russian tanks are much better upgraded than their counterparts who are probably still fielding soviet era main battle tanks without any of the newer generation retrofits and upgrades. this is more like the qualifier for the tank biathalon with the u.s. and canada[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Article]All four teams at Alabino training grounds outside Moscow on Saturday competed in T-72Bs, the staple tank of all post-Soviet armies and a close relative of the T-90, Russia’s main export tank.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like they're all the same.

I want mobile nuclear missile launch pad races.
Oh, sorry, forgot that nobody has them but us.

They don't exactly strike me as countries that have well-trained tank crews, or at least better-trained than Russia's. Then again, the driver of the Russian's tank is just a 19 year old conscript, so perhaps it wasn't such a large gap in skills between teams.
This particular line I found highly amusing:
"Any metal band would surely sell their souls for the chance to play this gig, but the live soundtrack to the event sounded prehistoric. Some of the Soviet tunes played were so old that one explicitly praised Stalin."[/QUOTE]
It wasn't as much as skills between the teams as it was just seeing which T-72 would break down first.

What about North Korea? That could be a fun race.

Sorry, only real nuclear missiles allowed in this competition! :v:
The only nuclear weapon North Korea have is Kim after a curry.
