I just check this photo collection. The Museum in Sofia looks really interesting:

I've got a few pictures from a museum in Varna, Bulgaria, includes some impressive WW1 artillery.

Yes, looks like there are more hidden gems in Bulgaria as well, with the main Museum in Sofia, plus branches in Varna and Plovdiv:

There is a Milano-Sofia direct, low-cost, flight. So I am considering that for the future too.
Belgrade and the Kalemegdan fortress is also on the list of places in Eastern Europe I would like to visit. The collection is smaller and more well-know than the Bulgarian museums, but still worth. Looks like I can arrange those visits as "hit and run" trips lasting 2-3 days across a week-end, without breaking the bank. Most likely it will only be a matter of time Cool

Only an ethnic Italian would notice that.

Yes, first the Museum opened 10 min late, then I saw zucchinis and tomatoes among the tanks, finally the Museum closed 15 min before scheduled... I really felt I was back home Laughing

I'm just going to have to take a lot of time, next time I'm in the "Mc Office", looking at these pictures. (No broadband out in the sticks!).
It's amazing what's sitting in these ex-Eastern block museums. I've got a few pictures from a museum in Varna, Bulgaria, includes some impressive WW1 artillery.

I really wish they'd not groom those shrubs to surround the Russian vehicles on all sides.

I think you are missing the point. The goal here is to protect the vegetables they put between the tanks Laughing

Back to the MBT business. The TR-800:

Move to something heavier, the R-11. This is really huge and the rocket in vertical position makes pretty hard to take a good portrait. You can see Doug's suggestion to go in winter to have less vegetation makes sense:

Looks like the whole beast was repainted. Painting on the hull was much better compared to what is visible on your pictures

Hey, that rocket used to be white!
