RT: Russian tank sets speed record at intl Army Games 2019 near Moscow (VIDEO)
A Russian T-72B3 main battle tank reached a speed of 84 kph (52.1 mph) during a tank biathlon event outside the capital. It’s an all-time record for the competition – and an impressive feat for a 64-ton armored behemoth.
The record speed was achieved in the mud of a rain-soaked tank range, rather than on an asphalt-coated race circuit.
