June 12th, United Republic, Dressler City.
The weather was very good today. The 10th World Tank Competition officially opened at 8:00 this morning.
Compared to previous competitions, this year's World Tank Competition was more lively.
This year, more than 30 countries had come to participate in the competition. Even the Star Country that had participated in the competition had sent a delegation.
Singapore's M1A2 Abraham main battle tank had been improved many times, and was undoubtedly the favorite for the championship.
Logically speaking, their tanks did not need any publicity. Everyone knew that they were very powerful, but for some reason, they still came this year.
In addition, the T-14 Amata main battle tank of the North, the Leopard 2A7 of the United Republic, the Leclair main battle tank of Gaul, and the Type 10 main battle tank of Japan were all popular players in the top three.
Many of the tanks were participating in this competition for the first time.
The most eye-catching was undoubtedly the Russian T-14 main battle tank.
After all, this tank was known as the world's first fourth-generation main battle tank.
When he first appeared in the 2015 military parade, he attracted the attention of many countries.
There was another player who was more eye-catching in this competition, and that was the Arjun MK2 main battle tank from the Peacock Country.
Who knew which unlucky country the Peacock Kingdom was trying to sell their Arjun tank to.
After all, as long as one wasn't a fool, they wouldn't spend eight million dollars to buy a tank that frequently broke down and had fatal flaws.
As the third strongest country in the world, the ancient country's tanks also received a certain amount of attention.
However, with so many powerful enemies ahead, no one was optimistic about the Ancient Nation's Type 99 main battle tank.
In so many World Tank Competitions, the best result the ancient country had ever achieved was third place.
............
It was only 9 o'clock, but tens of thousands of spectators from all over the world had already poured into the live audience.
The first event of the World Tank Competition was the tank drag race.
This was also the warm-up match for the World Tank Competition.
Usually, everyone was used to watching all kinds of racing cars and supercars, but it was rare for tanks to race each other.
Perhaps only this kind of fierce competition between steel could ignite everyone's blood.
The rules of the tank drag race were very simple and crude.
Every four tanks formed a group, and the teams competed against each other. Only the first place in the group competition could qualify for the finals.
The final winner of the straight-line acceleration race would be decided by the first place in the group stage.
The main test of this competition was the acceleration of the tank.
As the host of the competition, the Federal Republic took the lead to send their Leopard 2A7 main battle tank.
Their opponent was the Russian T-90 main battle tank.
Don't think that the T-90 main battle tank was not a match for the Leopard 2A7. The tanks in these competitions had undergone some minor modifications. It was not certain who would win.
The two tanks stopped side by side at the starting line of the straight track.
The race track was three kilometers long, and it wasn't smooth all the way. There were some obstacles along the way.
For example, potholes, explosive roads, and flaming roads tested not only the performance of the tank, but also the quality of the tank driver.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The two tanks started their engines and black smoke was emitted from their exhaust pipes.
As the green light lit up, the engines of the two tanks began to roar crazily, and black smoke instantly filled them.
Even though the Leopard 2A7 main battle tank weighed 67 tons, its liquid-cooled turbine diesel engine gave it ample power.
At the beginning, he directly surpassed the T-90 tank by a body. The battle between the two had just begun.
However, the Russian T-90 main battle tank was not to be trifled with. After all, it still had the advantage of a smaller body.
Its 1200 horsepower engine began to exert force and once again caught up with the Leopard 2A7.
Soon, the two tanks arrived at the potholes. In this aspect, the Russian suspension was obviously inferior to the Leopard 2 tank.
The Leopard 2A7 was known as the most perfect tank in the world. The T90 was indeed a little lacking.
After the distance was pulled apart on this section of the road, the T-90 basically did not have any time left.
In the end, the Leopard 2A7 main battle tank crossed the finish line at a speed of 75 kilometers per hour, while the T-90 main battle tank broke out at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
The Leopard 2A7 main battle tank showed off its skills and easily killed a Russian general.
The T-90 main battle tank lost the qualification to compete in the tank straight-line acceleration race.
The second group match was more interesting.
They were the Type 10 main battle tank from Japan and the Arjun MK2 main battle tank from the Peacock Kingdom.
When the Japanese tank team saw their opponent, they immediately smiled and said,"This time, it's a sure thing."
