"…The roar of the engine and the shear power of the T-80 tank make it an incredible experience. People would get out after driving the course with euphoric grins on their faces, the kind you see on people who've just been bungee-jumping. I gave a TV interview from the driver's seat once we'd finally come to a standstill and I could barely string a sentence together…" From a TV interview after driving tank: - How did you like it? - I cannot even explain. It is super! What motion! I liked it very much. Frankly saying it is not complicated, everything is clear, it's like computer game. People from Great Britain and USA are very interested in Soviet equipment. I think it's very original and people from West Europe will come. |

- How did you like it? - Feelings are unusual! The most impressive thing was surely trip on the tank, especially that moment when I was driving it although I cannot drive even car. Sitting at the helm of such huge machine and operating it is a startling thing! Thus I think this program will attract foreign and native visitors because it is actually withdrawal from reality and monotony of everyday life. I wish success to the program and to persons who organized it. I think it is a wonderful idea. |

"Everything far exceeded my
expectations!!! I have spent my lifetime seeking out new experiences and adventure travel and this program is unlike anything else I've ever done. Just driving the tank through the course or feeling the power of these massive machines when you fire the cannon would have been worth the trip. The extreme experience left me feeling a special friendship with the people of Alaris and the Ukraine military. This trip is a MUST DO for anyone with even the slightest interest in going!" |
