新疆库尔勒8曰19日电 “国际军事比赛-2021”将于今年8月下旬在新疆库尔勒拉开战幕。由陆军第83集团军某旅抽组的中方参赛队正在积极备战“晴空”项目，开展适应性训练。
KORLA, Aug 19 -- The "Clear Sky" event of the International Army Games (IAG) 2021 will kick off in Korla, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in late August. The Chinese team selected from a brigade under the PLA 83rd Group Army is conducting adaptive training to make full preparations for the contest.
此次“晴空”项目比赛分为技能赛、多能赛、综合赛三个阶段，各参赛队要依次通过涉水场、防坦克壕、错位通路等12个车辆障碍，并在6个射击地段利用自动步枪、高射机枪和便携式防空导弹完成对各类靶标的射击，以障碍通过、射击精度和总体用时综合计算最终成绩。
The "Clear Sky" event this year consists of three stages: mastery race, cooperation race and combined race. Each team must pass through 12 vehicle obstacles such as ford obstacle, anti-tank ditch obstacle and off-center passage obstacle, and use automatic rifles, anti-aircraft machineguns and man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) to complete firing at targets of different types in six firing positions. The final results are judged based on overall performance of obstacle crosing, shooting accuracy and total runtime.
导弹射击是检验队员实战能力的重要项目。从靶弹升空到截获目标，再到导弹出桶，最佳射击时间只有三到四秒，这就要求参赛队员在射击时必须做到发现即摧毁。
MANPADS firing is a major item in the contest to test the combat capability of the team members. When the target projectile is blasted into the air, at almost the same time, the target acquisition and missile launching should be done and the best firing time can only last for three to four seconds, which requires the team members to be able to achieve the principle of "seek and destroy".
步战车驾驶是比赛的重要环节，驾驶员要在确保速度的前提下通过车辙桥、涉水场等多个复杂障碍，利用步枪、导弹、高射机枪等武器连贯完成射击任务。
Infantry fighting vehicle driving is an important part of the competition. The driver must fastly pass multiple complex obstacles such as track bridge obstacle and ford obstacle, and use rifles, missiles and anti-aircraft machine guns to complete shooting tasks at a stretch.
和往年相比，今年的“晴空”赛事，从步战车驾驶、导弹射击到单兵武器射击，难度都有所提升，对每名参赛队员的体能、技能和心理素质都是全面的考验。
Compared with previous years, the difficulty of this year's "Clear Sky" event increased in the aspects of infantry vehicle driving, individual firing and team cooperation, making it a comprehensive test on the physical, technical and psychological qualities for each participant.
