- description: The Russian army launches the first ever tank biathlon competition, a discipline invented by the Russian Defence Ministry. The tank biathlon sees powerful T-72 tanks race over a 13-mile track, shooting at five targets along the way. Each target they miss means another 500 metres to travel. So far, only tanks from four countries have taken part, but the Russian Defence Minister has sent an invitation to the US armed forces to join in. All regional contingents of the Russian army prepared seriously for this week's competition, with qualification rounds staged across the country. The competition's set to finish on Saturday.
