A total of 13 countries participated in the first round of the World Tank Biathlon which is scheduled to run through August 6 in Moscow.

The Chinese team used its own tank, the Type 96A, while the other participating countries used the Russian-made T-72B3 tanks.

The 21-kilometer-long race course for tank biathlon was outfitted with obstacles, including water and gunnery exercises. And the top eight teams will progress to the second round

  新华网莫斯科8月9日电(记者黎云)尽管在国内就对可能出现的情况进行了认真准备,正在俄罗斯参加2015国际军事比赛的中国军团遇到的困难仍然超出了预想。

  “里海赛马”短程赛中,中国海军陆战队最强的海上浮渡项目被主办方以“风浪过大”为由临时取消。而根据当地预报,实时风速为“每小时2英里”即不足每秒一米,仅高于无风。

  参加“苏沃洛夫突击”的中国装甲兵25秒钟装弹完毕,远远领先于耗时两分钟左右的其他队。主办方竟以“你们装弹太快,对其它队不公平”为由,取消了装弹环节的计时。

  “安全环境”比赛中,尽管主办方临时增加了7组超过中国装备极限的障碍,中国防化兵还是用勇士防化侦察车跑赢了对方的8轮装甲防化侦察车,但结果被判定无效,依据是一条事先根本没告知的“规则”。第二天,有利于我速度优势的500米空旷赛道被取消。

  “汽车能手”有10个分科目,中国汽车兵拿了6个第一,总分却只能排到第二。原因是主办方突然改变比赛顺序,让正在准备射击比赛的中国队到不了场地,然后宣布中国在“重装备运输车”环节弃赛。

  “坦克两项”比赛中,留给中国坦克兵的蓝色靶位经常是出靶速度最慢的一个。中国坦克在占领射击位置后,往往需要等待数十秒——最长的一次达到1分28秒,蓝色靶才慢吞吞地竖了以来。

  中国96A坦克赶超T-72坦克后,主办方又提出要测试中国坦克的“吨功率”,理由是“吨功率”大的话需要加调节系数,否则不公平。而在装甲、舟桥、防化等科目中,俄罗斯装备性能优越,有的甚至还与他国装备有代差,“调节系数”这个词却只字不提。

  这样的情形,几乎出现在中国军团参加的每一个项目中。为了激励士气,俄罗斯把坦克炮手的母亲请来现场观赛,成绩优秀的车组会在电视和报纸上频频露面。谁能拿第一,能拿到多少个第一,对于俄罗斯人来说太重要。

  客场作战的中国军团多次向仲裁委员会提出申述、复议。

  截至8月9日,赛事已过半。尽管比赛环境极其不利,中国军团仍然取得了不错的成绩,正在艰难地接近胜利。

  8月8日,在俄罗斯三防学院雅罗斯拉夫尔训练基地,中华人民共和国国歌第一次奏响。北京卫戍区防化团在“安全环境”侦察组射击环节中,以单兵最高98环、10发子弹平均97.3环、隐显目标首发全中、手榴弹投准全中的优势成绩,获得本次比赛中国军团第一块金牌。

  同样在8日结束的“开阔水域”竞赛中,代表中国舟桥部队参赛的陆军第20集团军某舟桥团获得第二名。“里海赛马”竞速赛中,中国海军陆战队在临近终点前超越了早4分钟发车的对手,获得第一名。

  8月7日结束的“航空飞镖”比赛中,中国空军航空兵歼轰-7和俄罗斯从全空军选拔的两个苏-34机组、三个苏-24机组同场竞技,取得了第三名的好成绩。

  最受关注的“坦克两项”比赛,中国96A坦克708车组在晚出发两分钟的情况下,反超上届亚军亚美尼亚队的俄制T-72坦克,引发现场掌声雷动,并取得单车赛第三名。

  此外,中国空降兵在“空降排”比赛中也保持了较大优势,暂时领先。“苏沃洛夫突击”项目中,一辆中国86A步战车先后发生故障,目前处于第二名。

  未来几天,2015国际军事比赛将陆续进入半决赛和决赛阶段,中国军团将面临更大挑战。

Long story short, Russia is cheating quite a bit in both the Tank Biathlon and the APC competition:

1) Tried to cancel the "floating" competition (something Chinese marines excel at) on the Caspian Sea on the ground of rough weather when the wind was only 2km/h.
2) Removed loading time from consideration because Chinese soldiers were able to reload within 25 seconds.
3) Took a long time to erect the targets for Type-96A teams.

No wonder the champion will be and has always been the Russian team ;).

Deputy Minister of the Russian Defense Ministry Antonov in joint press conference says that the Western countries believe that Russia is isolated, without friends, but a lot of friends in Europe and Asia , as well as Africa and Latin America came for the international military competition, Russia is not isolated.

If the allegations by the reporters are true, then these supposedly friendly competitions are not very friendly after all with the blatant cheating by changing the rules the last minute in favor of Russia so they could win.

That would surely leave teams from other countries in the competition a bad taste in the mouth when the hosting country don't even pretend to be fair. With few more competitions like that, there won't be anymore friends coming the next time they invite other countries for another competition if they keep being a such bad host. :D

I've got to say the more I hear about this competition the less I take it seriously I mean if the Chinese team can reload faster then good for them, it means they trained a lot and plus this is suppose to be a COMPETITION so of course the Chinese team will try to reload faster than everyone else.
