Suhiir,
Thanks for your last suggestion but, it looks like I'll have to do it the old fashioned way of printing it and scanning from my printer to "My Pictures" file. And since I'd feel bad about people looking just to see this some news would be appropriate here...

1. Most people know I like my mil-tech and a U.S. company has about reached the "Holy Grail" of armored hull design and protection.

2. Ah yes war is good (Sort of.) with a little help from the West financially Ukraine's defense industry is humming along and there's plenty of jobs to go around which is spurring along some technology developments as well and verifies Russia's claims that Ukraine had somehow gotten the "formula" for the very advanced KONTAKT ERA. Russia is not happy about this now and when I posted this in here somewhere of their suspicions of this a year ago or more.

3. Ah but there's always a flip side and it would seem the situation will not allow for Russia to back down from the ARMATA tank like they did with the BLACK EAGLE or the T-95. I don't say this lightly but I feel this MBT will keep people awake at night. In my humble opinion the ARMATA will be what the ABRAMS was when it came upon the scene. This is Russia's first new tank design from the ground up in decades.

Easy reads on the above tanks to include the first one I posted in this thread the BLACK EAGLE the main picture shown I believe is the prototype with the 152mm SB MG.

Now I feel better that you hopefully didn't waste all your time here.

Regards,
Pat
