The T-14 gun man would be would be at the center behind the two other crew member maybe without hatch and use her of crew chief, problem very long for exit.

And even if the gun man get a hatch she is a under the gun, should be lucky for exit with turret pointing to the side and will not interfere.
In fact he is a bit stuck ...

Can 't have all...

Protection, power, mobility the three essentials things for get a MBT.

Mistral deal cancellation may cost France up to 5 billion euros — reports

PARIS, May 14. /TASS/. The cancellation of a deal on delivering Mistral-class helicopter carriers to Russia may cost France some 2 billion or 5 billion euros, the French weekly Le Point reported on Thursday.

"Instead of bringing the French shipyards corporation DCNS the profit of 1.2 billion euros and its contractors some 890 million euros, the cancellation of the deal may cost France approximately 2-5 billion euros due to non-performance of the contract," the report says.

According to the report, now the French and Russian sides "have significant differences in regard to compensational payments" in case of the non-performance of the contract. "France is trying to return Russia the sum less than 890 million euros that has already been paid earlier," it says.

On May 16, the period of force majeure circumstances that allowed a temporary delay in the handover ends and Russia will get the full right to demand compensations for the non-performance of the contract, the report says.

Under the contract, Russia was expected to receive the first of the two warships, the Vladivostok, in the autumn of 2014. However, Paris suspended the ship’s handover to Russia at the very last moment over Moscow’s stance on developments in neighboring Ukraine.
It was planned that the second ship dubbed the Sevastopol would be handed over to Russia in the second half of 2015. But the deal was suspended like in the case with the first Mistral ship.

Stay on topic.

This is the Russian Military News Thread...not a discussion about relative standards of living and all that is associated with that.

That entire line of discussion has been deleted.
