Triumph of the Goodwill

Du hasst

I should go back to Czechia, already spent 9 years there, it’s just a better country.

Don’t worry, here in Czechia we are electing our(or rather Slovak) wannabe Orbán next year :-/

Did Hungary annex Slovakia again or what?

Nobody is airlifting a tank when introducing it to the army. They will ship it to Europe and then move it through Poland, just like everything else.

So unable to accept being proven wrong you descended into elementary school level ad hominem attacks, pathetic.

You:

The T-34 is a direct design descendant

vs

The article you link:

The T-18 and its derivatives were essentially unsuccessful designs, …, and in the meantime a number of foreign tank designs were available for production.

You were simply wrong.

WDYM? English Wikipedia article on T-34 also mentions origin from Christie’s designs.

That’s wrong. T-34 was an evolution of the BT series tanks, which themselves evolved from designs of Walter J. Christie, whose licence Soviets bought in the beginning of 30’s.

EDIT: And to be pedantic: Although it was directed from Moscow, the main tank plant was in todays Kharkiv, Ukraine - so it’s more accurate to talk about Soviet tank program.

You lie, moskals have been observed to continue stealing, raping, killing and ethnic cleansing long after any hostilities ceased in many armed conflicts before. Their behaviour in Bucha and elsewhere proves they haven’t changed one bit.

In August 1918 bolshevik russia lost the Battle of Lake Baikal to the Czechoslovak Legion. Czechoslovakia proclaimed independence only on 28th October 1918. And as a bonus: the legion did that using captured russian ships.

Britisches Freikorps was quite a shitshow but it did exist.

Reminder that russia managed to lose a naval battle to a country that didn’t exist yet.
