The only professional tank driver in the country: no driver's license.
Beijing Youth Daily / > "we will not only open tanks, but also dismantle tanks", 2015 levels of armour at Beijing Institute of Technology. 66 undergraduate students in vehicle engineering have just finished the tank structure dismantling and driving practice in the Bengbu Academy of Armored Force Academy. It is understood that the Beijing Institute of Technology armored vehicle engineering specialty practice course, in the country is unique, and has a history of more than thirty years, is the "required course" of the major.

when the Beijing Youth Daily reporter arrives at the North Polytechnic machinery and vehicle college, The group of students who have just returned from their internship base are still in joy. Though no use of tanks and enemy operations like the movie Wolves 2, the experience of driving tanks and disassembling tanks is enough to make them proud of their lives.
in fact, at the vehicle College of all universities in the country, it is common for the students to combine theory and practice with students to drive and construct disassembly, but it is the only one for students to drive a real tank in a barracks.
tank driving 1 credits, tank dismantling 2 credits. Since 1985, the teaching program for the engineering of armored vehicles in the north is required by the students to carry out tank structural disassembly and driving practice during the school period.
in March this year, 66 undergraduate students from the 2015 major armored vehicle engineering at Beijing Institute of Technology came to the Bengbu campus of the army armored army college and began a three week "closed" practice. On the first day of arrival, the students received strict confidentiality education and cohort training. The army's instructors told them to strictly observe the discipline of the army and to prohibit the use of mobile phones during driving. The Army Armored Force Academy is militarized, and students are also required to carry out military training.
in the three week internship, tank driving is in the first week. In order to ensure safety, students need to practise tank driving technology on the tank simulator. After being skilled, they will be dragged to the "Red Star driving field" 40 minutes away from the campus to drive on the spot. Unlike ordinary car driving schools, the "red heart drive" is a specially customised venue for tanks, and is a tactical drill ground for soldiers. It is hilly, undulating and trees. When it rains, the ground will become very muddy. Ordinary cars will sink into the mud just when they enter the door. The driving area has an area of 700 thousand square meters. In order to ensure the safety of tank driving, a training area is divided in a few hundred meters.
