link Invented by the Russian military a few years back, tank biathlon basically works like normal biathlon … but with tanks: 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. |

Interesting. At 1.35, there is a venting of a liquid upwards from the pictured tank. Any idea what that is? |

That's not liquid it's engine exhaust. |
