Artillery, Signal, and Engineer Museum

Earlier in the summer Nikki and I ventured into a new museum (well new for us) and many of you will be surprised that this is not the first museum I visited in the city as its grounds are littered with Armored vehicles from throughout history. It is the Artillery, Signal, and Engineer Museum, you can click here to see their english site. The display of armored vehicles and rocket delivery systems did not disappoint. I wish I could have come here as a young tank Lieutenant learning the art of identifying Armored Fighting Vehicles.







Here is an interesting display of World War II era training posters, on the best aiming points to disable the feared and fabled Nazi Tiger Tank.

That is just one huge missile transporter...

The temporary display (with his popularity in Russia I imagine it is more permanent than temporary) in the Museum was a tribute to Mr Kalashenikov, the inventor of the most successful (as in weapons produced) assault rifle ever made, the AK-47.




Now you might think that this was a completely boring adventure for Nikki, but fear not she found quite a few things to amuse herself.
