Like it's said in the article the psychiatric evaluation is pretty much automatic.
For a bunch of infractions, a medical assessment of the person is automatically required to know wether or not they need medical care and if they were fully responsible for their actions.
 
It's simply there to know if the person can be dangerous for herself or for others and if they can have attenuating circumstances.
 
Just a simple case of rule of law she we will have to submit to like any other citizen.
She's just trying to pass it as judiciary and political persecution against her as usual...
 
In her case the expert will simply conclude that she is sane of mind and fully responsible for her actions.
Really nothing to see here

On this video you can see that North Koreans have ATGM with videofeed system. Although it is launched from helicopter, i suspect that same type of ATGM is used here. North Korean Spike NLOS/AFT-10/ALAS
 

 
 
That moment when you realize that North Koreans have 4th gen ATGM and Russia don't have 3rd.

Erm, good point. I'm not sure if the value for chieftain hull height to turret roof is correct, but that depends on if the ground clearance includes the V or not:

 
1956 mm per this 1959 specification, which still puts the chieftain hull close to the cent hull height

Roe vs Maid?

So metal matrix composites are generally where you have ceramics with metals in the place of your polymer binder.
 
The aluminium MMCs I've seen in literature are 100um-scale SiC or AlO granules mixed with aluminium in a 25-40% ratio. The advantage is that your ceramic is encapsulated and you can, with careful casting methodology, cast the stuff so that the relative proportions of aluminium and ceramic vary across the thickness of the plate. This means, in theory, that you get the best of all worlds by having a ductile back and ceramic-rich front.
 
Life being what it is this doesn't always work out, which is where encapsulation comes in. In SiC-aluminium MMCs, for instance, the extra silicon you need to add to the aluminium to stop it from forming useless crystal structures means that the whole thing isn't much less brittle than the ceramic alone. So encapsulation has the same positive effects that it would have for any ceramic armour.

Walter; that's actually my Master's Thesis I wrote while attending the Command and General Staff College. It includes some of the same info I used in that ARMOR magazine article. Blacktail is the worst kind of critic; one with no background or experience on the topic at hand, simply lashing out to generate a response. His writings and level of expertise are only embarrassing and have been disproven by layer upon layer of reaction and response by the tank and AFV community. I finally stopped responding to his nonsense when I realized that I was most likely responding to some kid on a laptop in his parent's basement.            

Look, I think we can all agree that cutting holes into the glacis is infinitely dumber than mounting guns on the fenders.
 
Ergo: I'm right and hull guns it is.

And exactly how did it fail ?...i have extensive real world experience with the Barracuda MCS  and in my opinion it does exactly what it says on the tin .....it significantly reduces a vehicles thermal signature and it lowers the inside temperature by several degrees. In Afghanistan we saw a decrease in the fighting compartment temperature of 10-12 degrees Celsius when applied to our Leopard 2s .....from almost 50 degrees to less than 40......which was enough to make the air condition and cooling vests work properly. 
 
....Of course if you are stupid enough to expect it to be like a Klingon cloaking device or a substitute AC system , then yes i suppose you would call it a failure.

Side note on platform & environmental differences: 
Abrams doesn’t have aircon. 
Leopard 2 has PUP paint (differrnt permeability than CARC).
Hot/wet operating environment (Northern Australia) vs. hot environment (Afghanistan). 
 
We used it very successfully on Leopard AS1 for a decade, and knew very well what it can do and how it performs. Actually, I think Australia was one of the earliest adopters of Barracuda MCS (1997). That success was what prompted its use on Abrams, and that’s why it was a surprise when it failed on Abrams. 
 
The requirement was badly written: there was too much coverage, it was insufficiently robust (very high number of breakages/stripping), increased corrosion during the wet season, overheating of hub bearings, etc. etc.
 
In summary: too expensive, didn’t reduce the thermal load in the crew compartment enough (~5 degrees from memory), increased maintenance burden, was unpopular with the users, and didn’t markedly reduce thermal detectability to warrant to cost & workload.

This article would later appear in ARMOR magazine.  It's by Jim Warford, a regular over at Tank net.  One of the funniest things about this article is that Sparky/Blacktail wrote a ridiculous rebuttal to it years after the fact.  

I’ll dig up the requirements for under-armour reloading for the main & secondary armaments. 

If I am ever asked for the definition of "scope creep", I will link to this thread.

I guess this means the Ajax IFV variant is not ready yet...

Looks like premium tanks were a problem even in the 1970s!

Members of the public who have been chosen for reeducation have been infected by an ideological illness. They have been infected with religious extremism and violent terrorist ideology, and therefore they must seek treatment from a hospital as an inpatient. … The religious extremist ideology is a type of poisonous medicine, which confuses the mind of the people. … If we do not eradicate religious extremism at its roots, the violent terrorist incidents will grow and spread all over like an incurable malignant tumor.
