It is awesome, but very hard to get to unless you live close to Russia... or in Russia. Luckily, I have relatives there and can visit there, and am willing to pay 375 USD just to get shot by an airsoft tank.

Um well, the cost is probably to fuel the airsoft tanks... like 1/2 a mile per gallon or something like, as well as to pay off people who ref the event.

P.S. I forgot to add the war is 40 hours.

Airsoft with vehicles seems like an expensive way to get someone killed imho.

I take part in this "maneuvers" twice a year since 2003 ) the price is always about 30-40 eur.

i can't imagine an airsoft event that costs 600000$ =) (1600 players * 375$) ..you can BUY few BTR80 for this money )

holy sh.t russians are always freakin it up. what the hell. anyway, after the fall of russian army and the warszawa pact you can buy tons of russian equipment. Also Moskov is the Town with the highest number of millionaire´s worldwide. Whatever its awesome. But i never wouldt go to russia. I dont like it very much. Maybe growing up in former DDR/GDR made me contra russia. The great friend wasnt a great friend @ all.

(To all russian beings here in the forum, dont matter bout it, its nothing personel)

I guess people CAN, but it's probably unusual.
