Together with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Oleg Sienko, General Director of the Uralvagonzavod Corporation, presented the winners with medals and keys to modern UAZ Patriot cars.

The skill of controlling combat vehicles at Tank Biathlon 2016 was demonstrated by 18 teams from all over the world - crews from Russia, Iran, Kuwait, Angola and other countries. The winner of the competition was chosen based on the results of individual races and relay races. The tankers crossed a ford, concrete walls, climbed onto an escarpment, and hit targets.
Participants and spectators of the competition gave the T-72B3 tank from Uralvagonzavod a high rating. “This is a trouble-free, combat-ready machine,” says Mongolian team coach Gantsukh Erdenetsogsh. - The main advantage is reliability and simplicity.

The competition participants also noted the organization of Uralvagonzavod’s work at the biathlon. More than 30 Uralvagonzavod specialists were involved in vehicle maintenance and crew training. “Last year we were unable to cross the ford,” says Colonel Dragan Bojic, head of the Serbian delegation. - This year there were no such problems. Now we have close cooperation with UVZ specialists. Every issue that arises is resolved within 5-10 minutes. Without the corporation’s employees, our crew would not be able to move on to the next stages.”
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces of the Russian Federation, Colonel General Oleg Salyukov thanks Uralvagonzavod for cooperation and high-quality work.
