The third day of the UAE SWAT Challenge turned into a moment of pride and excitement for Kazakhstan. On one of the world’s most demanding and prestigious platforms for special forces, Kazakh teams didn’t just perform well - they dominated, setting the tone for the entire tournament, DKNews.kz reports.
In a competition where every second matters and every mistake is costly, the results of the day looked almost symbolic. All three podium places of the third stage were claimed by teams from Kazakhstan.
A record that changed the pace of the tournament
“Kazakhstan A” delivered a standout performance in the “Officer Rescue” scenario, completing the task in a record-breaking 02:00 minutes. This result immediately pushed the team to the top of the standings and set a new benchmark for all competitors.
Second place in the stage went to “Kazakhstan B”, while the bronze medal was secured by “Kazakhstan C”. One stage, one country, the entire podium - a rare sight even at elite international tournaments.
Strength beyond the leaders
Kazakhstan’s success is not limited to its front-runners. Two more national teams are firmly positioned within the top 20 of the overall ranking.
“Kazakhstan D” currently holds 19th place, followed closely by the women’s team “Tomiris”.
The performance of “Tomiris” once again became one of the highlights of the competition. The team repeated its best-ever result among women’s squads and, at the same time, outperformed many teams with male lineups. It was a clear demonstration that discipline, tactical precision and endurance define success - not gender.
Overall standings after three stages
After three stages of intense competition, “Kazakhstan C” confidently holds first place in the overall standings. Right behind it, shoulder to shoulder, is “Kazakhstan A” in second position.
Two teams from the same country leading an elite tournament that brings together 109 teams from 48 countries speaks volumes. This is no coincidence - it is the result of systematic preparation, experience and a high professional standard.
Two decisive days ahead
The UAE SWAT Challenge is not over yet. Two more competitive days remain, and each upcoming challenge will be crucial. Still, one thing is already clear: Kazakhstan’s special forces are not just participants in this tournament - they are setting the pace.
As the competition enters its decisive phase, the nation stands behind its heroes, wishing them strength, focus and victory on the global stage. Forward, Kazakhstan!
