The best masters of tank-automotive equipment now may well be female. This proved the country’s first such team. In army games, however, is participated out of the competition, but on par with men.
In the international stage competed by the national teams of Russia, China, Egypt and Venezuela. Today it was team relay race: SUVs and trucks in turn passed the 12-kilometer route. As the weaker sex proved that he is not weak – see the exclusive shots from the cabin Bouncing Trucks.

To sit behind a steering wheel decided for military games, seeing as Juggernaut dancing “waltz”. Category “C” received in March, to become a racer had to quickly.
– I have a regular sedan of the house, which I have been driving for 15 years. And when I was first led to this KAMAZ and say – get in and drive! I say – how? Here wheel more than me, I do not know, nor how to get it, how, what to do with it. Had some situations that not every training session we run to the finish, – said the Manager of the control point 147th motor-car base Vasechkina Elena.
At the start they are visibly nervous when a woman’s SUV with the route never returned. Calculated, three of their cars have to have time for 40 minutes. As KAMAZ jump on a “bus grind” bumps and the concrete to look scary. The fact that at this moment going on inside, can’t comment. These fragile drivers literally hold onto the steering wheel. A truck covers a wave of mud – she in the cockpit, “Lobovyk” just a minute. But the women’s team stands. Puts the Egyptians – their KAMAZ “popping up” from the road.
The streak doesn’t end. These games are generally rich in incident. Here the Egyptian SUV breaks down at the Ford – bent the drive wheel change. Time for repairs, of course, will be deducted, but the team is already on edge. Chinese KAMAZ and the track comes down and stalls is already a penalty minute. Your bad luck the team optimistic comments.

They are, though outside of games, but also on the podium. One of these military riders even gets the car. By the way, they acted not as men say, with the Venezuelans could fight for the bronze.

Definitely going to report to the Minister of defence to declare participation in international competitions, including and women’s teams – said Deputy defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov.
The top step of the podium again ours, and while the national team gets up there, the applause does not cease. Russians – best for the fourth year in a row. China – silver.
