i cant imagine M1A2 will colored like that when they participate the biathlon

Unfortunately this Tank Biathlon is a one-make or one-type tank competition. All participant are using the T-72's tanks.

Russia did ask for US's participation, to relief some tension away from the leak case.

“We’ve invited our American colleagues to participate…and our invitation was accepted by US Secretary of Defense [Chuck] Hagel,” Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Saturday.

Italy and Germany also agreed to send their teams to compete with Russian and US tank crews, Shoigu said, adding that the event will take place sometime next year.

Russia will host the world’s first ever tank biathlon championship next week. The country’s best tank crews will compete against each other at a firing range outside Moscow, the winners then taking on competitors from Armenia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

The new sport will make it possible to showcase the quality of Russian tanks, pitting them against foreign analogues, Shoigu’s deputy Yury Borisov said Saturday.

Next week’s event, however, will be limited to T-72 tanks, the staple of post-Soviet militaries, Vedomosti business daily said Friday.

RI military delegation visits Boeing production center in Arizona

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Thu, August 22 2013, 5:13 PM

A delegation of top Indonesian Defense Ministry and Army officers visited the Boeing rotorcraft facility in Mesa, Arizona, recently to view the AH-64E Apache combat helicopter.

Several of the visitors, including Lt. Gen. Budiman, the secretary general for the Defense Ministry, and Gen. Moeldoko, chief of the Indonesian Army, flew the newest version of the Apache, which is in production at the Arizona rotorcraft facility. About 14 Indonesian Army officers were present.

Indonesia has expressed interest in buying at least eight AH-64E Apaches from the U.S. Army through a Foreign Military Sales agreement. Indonesia has submitted a Letter of Acceptance Request and has received approval from the U.S. government to purchase the AH-64E.

“The Apache is expected to be a key part of Indonesia’s continuing efforts to improve its strategic defense capabilities,” a Boeing business development manager, Dave Brostrom, said in an official release.

“Boeing is honored to be considered as part of Indonesia’s defense modernization efforts.”

The delegation was hosted by senior Boeing Apache leaders, including Dave Koopersmith, vice president of Attack Helicopter Programs; Dave Palm, director of Business Development for Vertical Lift and Mike Burke, director of Business Development for Attack Helicopters. The group toured the Apache production line and met with U.S. Army program officials.

Brostrom noted that the Indonesians also have expressed interest in the CH-47F Chinook, which is produced in Ridley Township, Pa.

The timeframe for a decision on the Apache request has not been announced.

A unit of The Boeing Company, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is one of the world's largest defense, space and security businesses specializing in innovative and capabilities-driven customer solutions, and the world’s largest and most versatile manufacturer of military aircraft.

Based in St. Louis, Boeing Defense, Space & Security is a US$33 billion business with 59,000 employees worldwide.

Russia offers Indonesia diesel electric submarines

Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
19 August 2013
 
Russia has offered to sell Indonesia 10 diesel-electric submarines (SSKs), government statements in Indonesia have revealed.

Speaking on 19 August, Mahfudz Siddiq, chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives' defence commission, said the offer was "interesting" but required "in-depth study" before any decision could be made.

He added that the defence commission would "support the efforts of Russian co-operation in assessing the potential procurement" of the submarines, but also indicated that any deal is not likely to emerge soon.

Indonesia's purchase of three Chang Bogo-class submarines from South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, which were ordered in December 2011, was "running slow", Siddiq said, claiming it was due to difficulties in securing technologies from Germany.

Russia is continuing to sell large numbers of military helicopters to Sudan, the Russian business daily Vedomosti reported on 19 August.

The newspaper's sources said Russia supplied 12 Mi-24 attack helicopters and six Mi-8 utility helicopters to Sudan in 2012, all of them refurbished ex-Russian military aircraft. It said the Mi-8s received new VK-2500 engines to improve their performance in hot climates.

Russia told the UN Register of Conventional Arms that it transferred only four attack helicopters to Sudan in 2012.

Another contract has been signed this year covering the delivery of another 12 Mi-24s and 12 Mi-8s to Sudan, with an option for six more of each type, according to Vedomosti 's sources.
