Big bro I'm sorry I have no idea why I didn't get this tag and just happen to see it today. Anyway, thanks for it and interesting how in the news today, Eni discovers a new oil field in the western desert where just the other day, the EAF went on another one of its massive ammunitions use-up in a huge cretin crunching bang-up cleanup along the Libyan border. This was a massive hunting down and cleaning up which coincides with much of this other information including what is to be expected as good news if it comes to fruition as mentioned, especially the 2nd naval contracts but the entire package that offers all the local production sounds really great.
