These are heavily armored vehicles with mounted guns and machine guns and are the pride of any army. They are considered the elite and are referred to as Armored corps.
The idea for a tank competition was thought off by the Russian defense minister and so far 3 tank Olympics called a "biathlon" have been conducted: all in Russia. in 2017, 19 nations have entered and so has the Indian army with two T-90 tanks and a crew of six. The Biathlon opened on 29 July and will continue to 6 April 17.
