India knocked out of tank biathlon 2017 - Russia: Both tanks break down

[Arsalan]

India knocked out of tank contest in Russia after T-90s develop snags
August 13, 2017
Both Indian tanks broke down due to mechanical snags while those of Russia, China, Belarus and Kazakhstan raced to the final round.

The Indian Army has been eliminated from a multi-nation tank competition in Russia after both its T-90 main battle tanks developed technical problems at the Alabino ranges in the Moscow region.

The army had sent two T-90s – a main tank and a reserve one – and a 21-man crew for the tank biathlon at the 2017 International Army Games in Russia. Army officers said India had a good start at the biathlon but the Indian Army was disqualified from the competition after both Russian-origin tanks broke down during the penultimate round.

The officers said the main tank’s fan belt broke, while the other failed to perform after its engine oil leaked. China with its Type-96B tank and Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan with different T-72 variants raced to the last round of the competition in which 19 countries took part. Other participants included Azerbaijan, Angola, Armenia, Belarus, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Iran and Mongolia.

Degraded engine performance of T-90s, the mainstay of India’s tank fleet, is a concern for the army. The tanks are unable to operate for sustained periods in high temperatures due to radiator problems, revealed a report by the army design bureau earlier this year.

India joined the games three years ago but this has been the first time it had taken its own tanks for the competition. In the past, Russia had provided its tanks for the Indian team.

India was among the 12 teams that made it to the semi-final in the three-stage games. Belarus, China, Kazakhstan and Russia will now compete in the final stage. “The competition involves firing on tanks on the move by conventional machine guns and anti-tank projectiles at a range of two kilometres, while negotiating rugged obstacles,” an Army source said.

May be taking Indian tanks was not such a good idea. Previously, they always used tanks provided to them by the Russians for these games, only Indian personal went to participate. This time they decided to bring there own tanks to the competition.

Just to updated, the games have concluded. Russians won the Tank Biathlon-2017. Chinese with their Type 96 were second followed by Kazakhstan in third. Also it is worth while to note that all other nations participated with T-72 or similar tanks, Indians however went in there front line top MBT T-90. The competition should have been pretty one sided to be honest. Third Gen tank competing against Second Gen tanks!! However they were knocked out due to break down.

The team had mechanics traveling with them as well. Strange why India chose to bring T90 to compete against T-72s or equivalent from ALL other participants. This was not a fair fight by any given standard.

I guess there is a serious lack of confidence among the Indian ground troops. You will find the Indian Army has a notorious history of defection whenever there has been insufficient air support, even in the battles against the separatist groups.

Earlier the Bhartis were laughing at Chinese as one of their tank lost a wheel.... who is having the last laugh.
Losers never learn and always jump out of their skin.

Sad thread because it mentions Indian knocked out or because you claim that the results i shared in SECOND post are not right?

Read the thread title and try to grasp what the news is about! As for the results, this is what was shared on Wikipedia and i shared from there. NOT EVEN MENTIONED IT IN OPENING POST.

Here it is:

After seven days of contests, Team Russia won 11 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze awards and finished 1st in the overall ratings, and Team China achieved second place with 7 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze.

So here it is, the results YOU shared are based on final RACE it seems (and those too are incorrect). What i shared are based on medals won in the whole competition.

here is another link: https://www.rt.com/in-motion/398354-tank-biathlon-russia-final/

So i suggest that rather than making EVERYTHING an issue of ego, let us continue with the sensible discussion on this thread.

Thank You!

Wait, let me try and clear the confusion here.

Share here, what are you saying are the position over all in the games and what are the position in the final race?

Just write them down here please.

As per my understanding. In race on final day Russians were first,Chinese were THIRD. In over all games Russian were first Chinese were Second. What do you say?
