kronk.narod.ru/mono/3.01.htmFound this text on internet. Unfortunately I can't speak Russian. I believe it's a comparison between Saka (orlat) and Turkish (early Hun) warriors and their armour. Picture 6, 7, 8 and 9 look very interesting to me. Who are these warriors? What armour are they wearing? Who can tell me more about the text and the pictures? Many thanks Greetings Cataphract

I think they are comparing Soghdian and Southern Siberian Qyrghyz warriors of 5th-7th centuries AD. Nothing to do with the Huns.
Numbers 6 and 7 look like lamellar armor, while Number 9 looks more like patched armor. Number 8's armor looks like the worn by Number 6.
