Indian army leads over Chinese military at ‘battle of tanks in Russia!
Moscow: There is a tremendous fight going on in Russia these days, as the armies of world’s leading countries fighting with each other in ‘battle of tanks’ at ‘International Army Games’ in which Indian Army also took place and have defeated Chinese military.
Interestingly, Indian army is reportedly to have entered in the second round in this competition and on other hand Russian army is standing on number one position. Apart from this Indian military is maintained its position on No 4th.
But if we look at the video of this game, there was some indignation with China’s tank during the competition. The Chinese tank collapsed during the game and many parts of Chinese tank were separated. One can easily seen in pictures that the wheels of tank got separated from body of tank.
In the second round, there will be a fight for the next three days, in addition to the tank; there will be also games for weapons. The Indian Army will be fighting on 10 August with its competitor.
Russia’s military is winning its International Army Games, leading competing teams from China, India and Iran.
The annual games, which consist of 22 disciplines of military drills set up as a spectator sport, are halfway through their two-week run, and Russia has won or is leading 11 of them.
Indian army defeats Chinese military tanks during leading countries war game:
According to the official ranking, with less than a week to go until the games’ closing ceremony, China is in second place, leading in seven disciplines. Kazakhstan is third, performing best in three disciplines. Belarus is the only country outside the big three to lead a discipline.
Russia is currently in top form in the marquee event of the games: the tank biathlon, an obstacle course tank race with a shooting accuracy round. The 2017 version of the event features Russia, China and India competing in their military’s own tanks, adding a level of strategic interest to the competition’s entertainment.
Last week, Colonel General Oleg Salyukov, commander-in-chief of Russia’s ground forces, hailed the country’s tanks as the “best in the world” by virtue of their dominating performance in the games for three years running.
All three of the Russian crews taking part in the biathlon on the outskirts of Moscow hold the fastest times around the track, ahead of China’s fastest crew, which took fourth place. India’s fastest team ranks a distant eighth, behind one Kazakh crew and two Belarusian crews.
The International Army Games are an annual event spearheaded by Russia’s Ministry of Defense. In addition to the tank biathlon, troops also compete in air maneuvers and scouting tasks, and race military trucks off-road.
Of the 28 participating countries, a NATO member has never taken part despite Moscow’s insistence that they are welcome to do so. In a statement to Newsweek, a NATO official said invitations to these military games “are no substitute for proper transparency and confidence-building measures-such as OSCE observation of military exercises-which Russia routinely avoids.”
The State Scores Extra High on Gaming-Friendly Industry Index
Meghalaya scored 92.85 out of 100 possible points in a Gaming Industry Index and proved to be India’s most gaming-friendly state following its recent profound legislation changes over the field allowing land-based and online gaming, including games of chance, under a licensing regime.
The index by the UK India Business Council (UKIBC) uses a scale of 0 to 100 to measure the level of legalisation on gambling and betting achieved by a state based on the scores over a set of seven different games – lottery, horse racing, betting on sports, poker, rummy, casino and fantasy sports
Starting from February last year, Meghalaya became the third state in India’s northeast to legalise gambling and betting after Sikkim and Nagaland. After consultations with the UKIBC, the state proceeded with the adoption of the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Act, 2021 and the nullification of the Meghalaya Prevention of Gambling Act, 1970. Subsequently in December, the Meghalaya Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021 were notified and came into force.
All for the Tourists
The move to legalise and license various forms of offline and online betting and gambling in Meghalaya is aimed at boosting tourism and creating jobs, and altogether raising taxation revenues for the northeastern state. At the same time, the opportunities to bet and gamble legally will be reserved only for tourists and visitors.
“We came out with a Gaming Act and subsequently framed the Regulation of Gaming Rules, 2021. The government will accordingly issue licenses to operate games of skill and chance, both online and offline,” said James P. K. Sangma, Meghalaya State Law and Taxation Minister speaking in the capital city of Shillong. “But the legalized gambling and gaming will only be for tourists and not residents of Meghalaya,” he continued.
To be allowed to play, tourists and people visiting the state for work or business purposes will have to prove their non-resident status by presenting appropriate documents, in a process similar to a bank KYC (Know Your Customer) procedure.
Meghalaya Reaches Out to a Vast Market
With 140 millions of people in India estimated to bet regularly on sports, and a total of 370 million desi bettors around prominent sporting events, as per data from one of the latest reports by Esse N Videri, Meghalaya is set to reach out and take a piece of a vast market.
Estimates on the financial value of India’s sports betting market, combined across all types of offline channels and online sports and cricket predictions and betting platforms, speak about amounts between $130 and $150 billion (roughly between ₹9.7 and ₹11.5 lakh crore).
Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Delhi are shown to deliver the highest number of bettors and Meghalaya can count on substantial tourists flow from their betting circles. The sports betting communities of Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are also not to be underestimated.
Among the sports, cricket is most popular, registering 68 percent of the total bet count analyzed by Esse N Videri. Football takes second position with 11 percent of the bets, followed by betting on FIFA at 7 percent and on eCricket at 5 percent. The last position in the Top 5 of popular sports for betting in India is taken by tennis with 3 percent of the bet count.
Local Citizens will Still have Their Teer Betting
Meghalaya residents will still be permitted to participate in teer betting over arrow-shooting results. Teer is a traditional method of gambling, somewhat similar to a lottery draw, and held under the rules of the Meghalaya Regulation of the Game of Arrow Shooting and the Sale of Teer Tickets Act, 2018.
Teer includes bettors wagering on the number of arrows that reach the target which is placed about 50 meters away from a team of 20 archers positioned in a semicircle.
The archers shoot volleys of arrows at the target for ten minutes, and players place their bets choosing a number between 0 and 99 trying to guess the last two digits of the number of arrows that successfully pierce the target.
If, for example, the number of hits is 256, anyone who has bet on 56 wins an amount eight times bigger than their wager.
