CHIORNY ORIOL: Black Eagle

Extended Description: The newest Russian main battle tank (MBT) named Chiorny Oriol (Black Eagle) was shown for the first time at the second VTTV-Omsk-97 International Exhibition of Armaments, Military Equipment and Conversion Products ended early September in Omsk, Siberia region, Russia. The tank was demonstrated at a distance of 500 meters from the spectators. During the demonstration, the tanks turret, gun and armament system were carefully concealed.

It has a nice low profile.

1997?! No word of it since?

From what I understand from Polar, it is a developmental/experimental tank.

Looks suspiciously like a Leopard to me.
