The Minsk Oblast qualifying round of the military-patriotic tournament "Challenge" is underway in Machulishchi. Fifteen teams of boys and girls aged 15-16 are fighting for victory. Belarusian schoolchildren are testing their strength, agility and endurance. Despite the freezing temperatures they are learning the basics of military training: piloting drones and participating in tactical missions. The girls compete alongside the boys, each one equally competitive. These challenges build character, willpower and patriotism, preparing young people for military service by putting their knowledge and skills to the test.
