somethin about this event ...
SAHARA offers military machinery to the younger generations as well. You can meet a variety of criminalistic experts from the Slovak Police Department and displays of modern military equipment of the Military Technical and Testing Institute placed in the wonderfull surrounding of the Military Technical and Testing Institute – Záhorie, which is unique in middle Europe, as it resembles a desert.

This area has been used as a facility for military equipment testing and research for a long time. In WW2 the German Wehrmacht took advantage of this unique natural surrounding to prepare their army and equipment for the conditions of Africa. It is this exceptional terrain that made us name this wonderfull happening – SAHARA. It is beeing held with a great deal of success on the occasion of the Slovak National Uprising and this year it will be held from 26.8 to 28.8. 2011.
