Amid Ukraine Invasion, China Sends Main Battle Tanks, PLA Soldiers To Russia For ‘War Olympics’
China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has sent a delegation to Russia for this year’s edition of the International Army Games, Russia’s largest multinational military exercise that will be held in August.
The PLA military personnel, tanks, and vehicles set out from Manzhouli in China’s Inner Mongolia onboard a train to Zabaikalsk in far east Russia, reported China’s state-owned CCTV on July 25.
Initiated by the Russian Defense Ministry, the International Army Games were first held in 2015. It involves various competitions between participating countries to prove the most skilled side, which is why the event is also dubbed the ‘War Olympics.’
So far, 275 teams from 37 countries have confirmed their participation in 36 competitions. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, these competitions will be held from August 13 to 27 in 12 countries.
The countries participating include Iran, Venezuela, India, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, and Armenia. Niger and Rwanda will debut this year in the Games.
Infantry Vehicle Fighting Competition In China
China, which has been regularly participating in the Games since 2015, will host three competitions, including an infantry fighting vehicles game and a frigate race.
In the infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) game, the participants have to prove their infantry vehicle maneuvering skills and precision shooting abilities.
The infantry fighting vehicle competition, also known as Suvorov Attack Contest, takes place in Korla in China’s Xinjiang region. The participating teams are known to be provided the ZBD-86A IFVs by China.
