As reported earlier, the Armenian tankers received a silver medal in the final round of the Tank Biathlon 2014 international competition, which wrapped up Saturday in Moscow.

The championship of tank-driving skills and precision shooting from machine guns and cannons was held from August 4 to 16 in the Russian capital city.

Crews from twelve countries—including Armenia—met for the first time this year in the history of tank battles, and delegations from more than twenty countries attended the international competition as observers.

The Armenian tankers who competed at the event will return home on Sunday, and an official welcoming ceremony will be held in their honor at Zvartnots International Airport of capital city Yerevan.

The event will bring together high-ranking military servicemen, youth and non-governmental organizations’ representatives, and relatives of the tankers.
