have achieved the same success, even if the U.S. national team
participated in the World Championship Tank Biathlon 2014.

the same result even if the United States team participated in the
World Championship Tank Biathlon. The Russian Federation has sent
invitations for participation to the whole world," as reports
"Armenpress", this opinion was expressed by the Head of Department of
Information and Public Relations of the Ministry of Defense, Major
General Vardan Avetisyan.
Armenia was second in the newly introduced global military sporting
event and was awarded a certificate for a new T-90 tank.
The First International Tank Biathlon was held on August 4-16 at the
Alabino firing range outside Moscow, with international tank crews
from 12 countries competing in driving and shooting proficiency.

Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, Serbia, and Venezuela took part in the
competitions. And more than 20 countries had sent in their observers.

was second, and China third.
