As reported by The Drive, crews from the United States are invited to participate in the "Tank Biathlon". The invitation was made by the Russian team - the winner of the previous competitions.
The publication also contains the text of the invitation-call: "Unfortunately, tank crews from the EU and the US avoid participation in such tournaments." It's time to meet with you guys, instead of directing weapons at each other, let's compete in training grounds. We will wait for you. "
The publication notes that this is not the first invitation. Officially, the Russian Federation invited participants from the United States to the "Tank Biathlon" as early as 2013. Now, after the deterioration of relations between countries, participation in competitions of American tankmen or their allies, with the exception of Turkey, is unlikely.

I wish our countries did more of this kind of shit. It's a really good way to foster goodwill that's not for pussies.

But who cares if we lose? The point is that good natured competition helps people get along better. Your tank drivers will shoot the shit and get drunk with ours after the biathlon and get along well, then come back and tell their friends what bros those other guys are. That's how good relations start.
And besides, you never know. We've got some pretty good tank crews too. I'd hope we'd give you at least better competition than those Arab countries.
