The first tank missed all the shots but the second one had to do penalty run because Russian targets malfunctioned. Third one hit two out of three target. They advanced to the finals by the skin of their teeth.
The first tank had malfunction in elevation mechanism of the gun and missed all the shots. The second tank didn't have the chance to shoot the target because the targets in the back up target area were not working and Russian administrators asked them to wait for update, to control their own fate, the crews of the second tank had no choice but to do penalty lap instead of just waiting.

BEIJING, Aug.22 -- Following the introduction of nutritious food such as field rations made from pearl barley and shiitake mushroom, another special agricultural product from Guizhou Province, dried thorn pears, has also been listed into the food procurement catalog of the Chinese military.
In recent years, the Systems Engineering Research Institute under the PLA Academy of Military Sciences (AMS) has made constant efforts to promote the combination of R&D of field rations for military use with the production and sale of special agricultural products from Guizhou, according to a cooperative agreement on facilitating rural revitalization signed by the research institute and relevant departments of Guizhou Province.
After repeated trials, a team of researchers with the institute has made use of special agricultural products such as pearl barley, edible fungi, and thorn pears produced in Guizhou as raw materials to develop field rations for military use. The troops stationed in the plateaus and cold regions have given positive feedbacks after trying the field rations made from these above special agricultural products of Guizhou.
As for now, more and more special agricultural products have gone out of the remote mountains of Guizhou Province and become the food of service members, helping them to realize balanced nutrition and improve physical fitness, and at the same time, local enterprises and farmers are also the beneficiaries of the cooperation between the military and Guizhou Province with their income have kept increasing.

A military dog named Yanlong retired recently after eight years of service in a border detachment in Altay prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
"Yanlong has reached the age of retirement. Comparing dog years to a human's age, it has already grown into a 64-year-old veteran," said trainer Tang Yanyi, a frontier guard who joined the People's Liberation Army in 2014.
He said Yanlong had participated in regular patrols along the border shared by China and Kazakhstan more than 700 times over the past eight years. Of all the dogs serving in the border detachment, Yanlong has served longest, marching nearly 9,000 kilometers.
All the border soldiers and the dogs have to suffer in the harsh conditions of the areas where they have to patrol — including the long winter freeze and clouds of mosquitoes in summer.
From June to August, the detachment has to patrol forests in which some 1,700 mosquitoes per cubic meter swarm the soldiers and their canine companions. Seven military dogs have died from mosquito bites. However, Yanlong overcame all the difficulties and became well-known for tenacity.
I don't have that information, if I was to guess I would say between the 80s-90s.

China sent Army, Navy and Air force units under the Chinese People's Liberation Army PLA Northern Theater Command, with more than 2,000 troops, to participate in the military drills Vostok 2022 (East 2022) exercise that kicked off on Wednesday morning at Sergeyevsky training ground in Russia.
More than 300 vehicles of various types, 21 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and three ships were also sent by China to the exercise.
Over the past ten days, the Chinese troops in the military drills have carried out cross-border delivery by mechanized march, and railway, maritime and air transport.
Algeria, India, Belarus, Tajikistan, Mongolia and other countries also participated in the exercise launched by Russia.
As one of the four strategic exercises of the Russian military, the "Vostok" series plays an important role in the Russian military drills system. The Vostok-2022 exercise, which will last until September 7, involves more than 50,000 troops and more than 5,000 pieces of weapons and equipment at several training fields in Russia's Eastern Military District and related waters.
The exercise will be carried out in four stages: troop assembly and deployment, joint campaign planning and implementation, and troop withdrawal. The participating militaries jointly set up a directing department and a campaign command structure, according to the Chinese joint campaign headquarter.
The exercise aims to deepen practical and friendly cooperation between the militaries of participating countries, enhance the level of strategic coordination among participating parties, and enhance the ability to jointly respond to multiple security threats, said the headquarter.
The military drills Vostok 2022 came amid usual speculation from Western media outlets, hyping security cooperation between China and Russia especially amid Russia's military operation in Ukraine. Some have also interpreted the normal military cooperation as a "threat." But Chinese experts said it is the US and the West's commonly used tactics to portray Russia-China tie-up in a negative light, in order to unite allies and serve their geopolitical purposes.
