On August 18 at Alabino firing range, the Vietnamese competitors were like “diligent bees,” applying grease, cleaning target finders, and double-checking the engines and loading systems of their T-72B3 tanks to guarantee the best technical conditions to compete in the sixth edition of the games. All technical parameters were carefully noted. Also the Vietnamese Tank Team regularly exchanged with members of the organizing panel and requested to change worn-out details in the vehicles.

At noon, all the four vehicles assigned to the Vietnamese team were completely fixed, and the members of the team were all determined and confident to achieve the high results in the upcoming games. 

PANO would like to introduce some photos of the Vietnamese Tank Team before the Army Games 2020.
