It isn’t exactly defeat. This makes falling off the end of a ski jump look tame.
By way of a comment on Reddit’s “Hobby Drama” sub, I learned that there is such a thing as the International Tank Biathlon World Championship. The 9th one of those is either wrapped up or just wrapping up. Yes, it did go on: it was not called on account of WAR, though the page linked above seems to be confused about whether this is the 2022 or 2021 edition.
But wait, there’s more! We have a Twitter thread! With video! And commentary!
All of the group races at the tank biathlon at the army games have now finished, so here’s a thread of all the best videos from this years races. Starting with the Venezuelan commanders reaction to his crew missing all their targets with the main gun. pic.twitter.com/z335R3y6lG

Two highlights. Number one is a clip from “Fast 12: Tank Drift”:

Number two: everything is better with music.

And this goes out to the Saturday Night Movie Group:
Two things:
1. If you haven’t gotten enough Russian tanks this week, I do own a copy of The Beast.
2. For some reason, there’s a ginormous gap between the Reddit blip and the bottom of the post on the main page.
1. Can you ever have enough Russian tanks?
2. I fixed that.
Rubbin’ is racin’.
