The geography of the participants is expanding, the number of competitions is increasing, the complexity of the exercises being performed is growing, ”he said.


Shoigu noted that "the competition carries in itself not only the charge of an uncompromising struggle, it fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect in servicemen, a willingness, despite intense rivalry, to come to the aid of other teams."

“I am sure that such qualities are a solid basis for strengthening trust between the armies of different countries, serve the development of constructive cooperation in the interests of ensuring global security,” the minister added.

Earlier it was reported that Russian military personnel won the Tank Biathlon competition at ARMI-2021.
