The tank biathlon runs on August 4-16 in Alabino, a town to the southwest of Moscow, and begins on Monday with the championship’s first stage, which is individual’s race consisting of three heats and runs on August 4-6.

Crews from Angola, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Serbia will compete in the first heat. They will be followed by the crews of hosts Russia, China, Kuwait and Armenia in the second heat and then by India, Belarus, Venezuela in the third heat.Each member state is represented by four tank crews – three primary ones and a backup team.

The championship’s second stage, which is 3 km Sprint, runs on August 8-9 and the third stage, which is pursuit, runs on August 11-12.All international crews were provided with Russia’s T-72B tanks, or Slingshot, according to NATO classification, while China brought their own tanks for the championship.

According to the rules of tank biathlon, crews must navigate a distance of up to 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) evading various obstacles, crossing rivers and bridges and shoot at a set of targets. Tanks that miss a target get a penalty lap.

Indian Army tank crew to participate in 2014 Tank Biathlon Championship

General Ivan Buvaltsev, the chief of the Russian armed forces' main department of combat training has said  that Twelve countries -Angola, Armenia, Belarus, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Kuwait, Mongolia, Russia, Serbia and Venezuela - are set to take part in 2014 Tank Biathlon Championship outside Moscow starting today 4th August 2014.

All teams except for China will compete using Russian-made T-72B tanks.




"Today the reports say that twelve foreign teams will compete - traditional tank crews from Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, newcomers from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Angola, Venezuela, India, Mongolia, Serbia and China,” Gen Buvaltsev said adding that “China will perform on its own combat machine.”
Other foreign crews are to compete on Russian hardware - T-72B tanks.

“These will be the states that use our tanks and we have provided six-week training for them, just for equal opportunities to all the competitors,” the general said. “They can get accustomed to the machines and exercise at a special range while the others are training at home.”

“We have created more obstacles for the crews - the longer seven-kilometre-long track, a cross slope for a vehicle’s manoeuvre and some more,” Buvaltsev said noting that infantry combat vehicles and airborne assault vehicles will compete along with the tanks in the town of Alabino, southwest off Moscow, from July 26 to August 16.

“This year a sports race is another new competition,” he said. “The crews’ ratings will be scored for each race with the highest points for the best. But only four crews will reach the finals.”

Kazakhstan Ratifies Joint Air Defense Shield Deal with Russia

Kazakhstan’s upper house of parliament ratified Thursday an agreement with Russia on establishing a joint regional air defense shield, a Novosti-Kazakhstan correspondent has reported.The shield will become part of the unified air defense system of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), a loose alliance of former Soviet states, comprising Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

“The forces of the unified regional air defense system of Kazakhstan and Russia are led by a commander appointed by the Kazakh and Russian presidents upon the recommendation of defense ministers from both sides,” a committee on international affairs, defense and security said in a report.
The planned shield would be used only in times of war, while in time of peace the respective agencies together with the commander will fulfill only routine duties, a report says.
Moscow signed an agreement to set up an integrated regional air defense network with Kazakhstan last year. Russia has such a network with Belarus, while a similar deal with Armenia has been in the works for some time.

Russian Helicopters boosts Success on Kazakhstan Military Aviation Market

Russian Helicopters, a subsidiary of Oboronprom, part of State Corporation Rostec, will put a wide range of the latest civil and military helicopters on show at the Kazakhstan Defence Expo 2014 (KADEX 2014) international exhibition of weapons systems and military equipment, which will run from 22 to 25 May 2014 in Astana, Kazakhstan. Russian Helicopters can be found at stand 301, pavilion 3, with Rostec, part of Rosoboronexport, Russian Helicopters' partner in marketing military helicopters on the global market.

Kazakhstan is one of the largest operators of Russian-made helicopters in the region. The republic's armed forces, police, and rescue services operate all the main models of helicopter produced by Russian Helicopters: the military transport and search and rescue configurations of the Mi-8/17 series, the Ka-32A11BC coaxial multirole helicopter, the Mi-24V gunship helicopter and the Mi-26(T) heavy transport helicopter.Kazakhstan's helicopter operators have expressed significant interest in upcoming models - the Mi-171A2 and Mi-38. Under current contracts, Russian Helicopters is to supply Kazakhstan with Mi-8AMT, Mi-171E and other serially produced models.

At KADEX 2014, Russian Helicopters will showcase military helicopters to representatives of Kazakhstan's Interior Ministry, Emergencies Ministry, and the Armed Forces. The Ka-52 Alligator next generation combat and reconnaissance helicopter was unveiled in summer 2013 at the Le Bourget airshow, and will be one of the promising models on show. Thanks to its coaxial design, the Ka-52 boasts advanced flight capabilities and is equipped with the latest avionics. These outstanding features can be complemented by a range of high-precision weaponry and a high degree of protection for both helicopter and crew.

These features, combined with the ease of maintenance and reliability that are a trademark of Russian-made helicopters together make the Ka-52 Alligator an attractive assault helicopter for many countries around the world. Its outstanding features have assured it a place in the Russian Air Force's fleet - where it is operated in a variety of conditions, including in mountainous regions or adverse weather.Another Russian attack helicopter available on the export market is the Mi-28NE Night Hunter, built to a classic design factoring in the wealth of operational experience chalked up by the Mi- family, and also incorporating the latest aviation technology. The Mi-28NE Night Hunter is renowned for its resilience and powerful weapons systems.

The helicopter can act effectively against tanks, self-propelled artillery, armoured infantry vehicles, APCs, and military air defence units. Its on-board systems can combat low-speed and low-altitude enemy aircraft. In 2013 the Night Hunter configured for the Russian Airforce was brought into service.

Kazakhstan halts Russian missile tests on its land after rocket crash

Kazakhstan said on Friday it had suspended rocket and missile tests by Russia at military testing sites rented by Moscow on Kazakh territory after a Russian rocket crashed near a village.A meteorological rocket of the MN-300 type was launched from the Kapustin Yar testing site in Russia early on Thursday, Kazakhstan's Defence Ministry said, but exploded near the village of Shungai in the West Kazakhstan Region.

No casualties or serious damage were reported, the ministry said. It quoted Russia's Defence Ministry as blaming the incident on a failure of the rocket's engine system which prevented it reaching a targeted testing ground in Kazakhstan."The Defence Ministry of Kazakhstan has suspended tests at military fields rented by Russia on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan until the causes of the incident have been clarified," the Kazakh ministry said in a statement.

The Soviet-era Kapustin Yar test site, in use since the late 1940s, sprawls from Russia's southern Astrakhan Region to Kazakhstan's Atyrau and West Kazakhstan regions. It tests various types of missiles and rockets, including intercontinental ballistic missiles.Russia and Kazakhstan have close political and economic ties, but several botched launches of Russian rockets have caused tensions in the past.

Last July Kazakhstan temporarily banned all launches of Russia's Proton cargo rockets from the Baikonur cosmodrome rented by Moscow after a rocket of this type carrying three navigation satellites crashed shortly after lift-off.That accident led to a large spill of heptyl, a highly toxic rocket propellant, but there were no reports of casualties.
