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

Sudanese tank crew at the tank biathlon had a disaster on the tank trap obstacle throughout the race, their last attempt resulted in destroying the side skirt and getting stuck.

On their first attempt on the first lap, one of the tank traps wasn’t on the ramp resulting in a significant drop into the tank trap.

On the second lap they crashed into the wall which damaged the side skirt and left it hanging off.

A complete disaster for the Armenian crew at the army games in Russia as they crashed into the Laos teams tank on the final lap where everything went wrong for the Armenian team.

The Armenian driver then took a wrong turn onto a penalty lap despite not being given a penalty. The tank then went off the track and stopped where the driver and commander got out to clean the drivers viewing block.

They then continued to drive for a few meters before once again stopping to clean the drivers viewing block. The driver then decided to take a shortcut across the grass to get back onto the correct track where they knocked down every marker on the hill obstacle

A complete disaster for the Sudanese tank crew at the army games in Russia. The tank driver got incredibly confused and drove into a field and kept driving, even driving over part of the track to continue into the next field.
