The Italian Army participated in the "Strong Europe Tank Challenge", a competition between wagon crews from six different NATO member nations (Poland, Denmark, USA, Germany, Slovenia, as well as Italy), which took place in recent days at the Grafenwoehr German polygon.
The Italian tankers, a platoon of the 132 ° brigade tank regiment Ram, who competed with "Ariete" tanks, confronted themselves with the other crews in various complex tests, from precision target shooting toorienteering, going from the recovery of a vehicle in a contaminated environment.
In the tests dedicated to tactical acts in attack and defense, our military excelled highlighting skill and dexterity in the movements and coordination of the fire.
The competition, developed over three days, was won by the hosts of Germany but great satisfaction was expressed by the commander of "Ariete", General Antonello Vespaziani, who, present at the highlights of the event, thanked the own tanks for the commitment and determination lavished on the race.
