The Berdimuhamed Annaev Specialized Military School No. 1 in Ashgabat hosted an internal robotics championship, highlighting the technical skills and intellectual readiness of Turkmen cadets committed to serving their homeland, according to the Ministry of Defense magazine “Milli Goşun.”

Participants were given practical engineering tasks. Informatics teacher Murat Geldiyev explained that the school is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including robotics classrooms, laser training facilities, and a body-flight hall. The competition became a hands-on application of the theoretical and practical knowledge cadets develop daily while working with modern technological tools.

The new school complex was inaugurated on September 1, 2024, by the President of Turkmenistan and Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Army General Serdar Berdimuhamedov.

“Being here is both a privilege and a responsibility. This competition feels like a small test before the real challenges ahead,” said cadet Adylsha Mammettuvaqov. He noted that all participants aspire to become officers and are preparing for entrance exams to the Military Institute by studying Turkmenistan’s history and engaging in intensive physical training.
