Post the image link as



A better way is to upload this pics to sites like--

ImageShack® - Online Media Hosting

You can directly upload it from the image URL, no need to save it in your comp. imageshack will give you the direct link to the image and then post the image link as I said in the beginning. You can also use photobucket in place of imageshack

I think your country is already planned to make a medium lift helicopter though the program seems to have hit a snag as with most of government owned agencies around the world.

I had read in that sometime back in Economic Times (an Indian newspaper) that the chopper project has scrapped off its previous contenders Mil and Eurocopter due to changing requirements of your air force.
