Another crash at the tank biathlon this morning as the Iranian crew crashed into the Zimbabwe crewed tank, forcing them off the track.
#Zimbabwe #Iran

It was another bad performance from Zimbabwe, their main gun target shooting was very poor. (They’re trying to hit the red targets)

The commanders shooting target was a disaster as the commander was unable to load the machine gun and discarded the ammunition without firing at the target.

The race was another interesting one though, South Ossetia had an incident in the tank trap which left part of the side skirt hanging off, the side skirt hanging off then caused them to hit almost every marker on the following lap.

The Iranian driver wasn’t slowing down for the tank track obstacle either on their last lap.

And there was another technical fault in the race as the Zimbabwe team was unable to communicate with their commanders/spotters which resulted in a Russian technician having to fix the problem on their last lap.

A small thread on what I noticed yesterday on how the protests formed and went largely uncontested in some areas by the police and national guard.
#Venezuela

The protests started with a Cacerolazo (protest from people’s homes banging pots and pans) in the poorer barrios of Caracas and quickly spread around the country, the first views of people taking these protests to the streets came from Petare, the biggest barrio in South America.

The protests were completely spontaneous, no one organised these protests and there was no call from the opposition for people to go to the streets to protest.

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.
#Armenia #Russia

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

Venezuelan 3rd tank crew took part in the tank biathlon at the army games in Russia this morning, it was Venezuelas best performance so far but they still finished last. Almost 11 minutes behind 3rd place and 16 minutes behind the leader of their race,Kazakhstan
#Venezuela

The first main gun target shooting only had 1 target hit with 2 of the shots being very short.

They then reloaded and hit a second target but still missed the third.

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.
