Venezuelas crew 2 participated at the tank biathlon at the army games in Russia today. They finished last again but with a time 5 minutes quicker than Crew 1s time a few days ago. Videos of the performance in the thread below.
#Venezuela

Venezuelas tank crew 2 had a much better time on the main gun targets and they got 3 hits, however only 1 counted as the 1st shot exceeded the 20 second time limit, the 2nd shot was good but the 3rd shot missed, they reloaded and took a 4th shot but they hit the wrong target.

Whilst reversing off the firing stand they almost caused a big accident with the Kazakhstan teams tank as it passed behind them at high speed.

They then hit a marker on the hill section but weren’t penalised as it was just a guidance marker.

The tank commander was unable to hit the target with the turret mounted machine gun.

They received a penalty for hitting a marker on the slope section

There was a lot of confusion during the coaxial gun target shooting, the commentator was unsure if there was technical issues due to the Venezuelan crew not firing for a number of minutes, there was a lot of communication between the Venezuelan commanders and the tank crew

Eventually the Venezuelan crew did fire but missed and the coaxial gun was discarded and they continued with the course

The reaction in the crowd after Venezuelas last placed finish, again
