The problem with the T-62's gun moving after firing may have more to do with the stabilizer than the auto ejection system:
QuoteStarting in March [1964], in order to reduce the odds of the barrel sticking into the ground when firing on the move with the stabilizer on, as well as improving the conditions for loading, a device that automatically moved the gun within the 2 deg-4 deg 30 min range and hydraulically held it at that angle. As a result, the Meteor stabilizer was changed. In addition, a switch was added, composed of an angle meter for the gun (the switch was housed on the gun cradle). At the same time, in order to prevent water from leaking in through the spray opening, as well as to introduce the ability to used compressed air to clear the vision ports (with water in the tank), a valve to turn off the water was added on the pipe of the water container.
I have to do more digging into this though.

He was a clerk for Kennedy which I suspect clinched it.

Considering that the State Department is part of the Executive Branch, and Trump is the head of the Executive Branch, I find this argument to be somewhat unconvincing.
The State department is covered by the Pendleton Service Act. Most of its employees cannot be hired and fired at will; this creates an entrenched bureaucracy that mostly does what it wants and sometimes has to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the will of the Executive.

We all tracked your progress via the likes you were giving us.

The state department is mostly independent of Trump at this point in time.

I want to note that despite being spineless McConnell was smart enough to only do the things the Democrats have done themselves. The thing with Garland was a repeat of Bork and to a lesser extent Justice Thomas. It is also an extension of that time the Dems kept two appeal justice positions open for years during the Bush administration. Reid also declared he was going to use the Nuclear Option when the Democrats won the election. I think by doing that McConnell put the Democrats on slipper ground.

If the dems were smart they would've accepted Gorsuch and filibuster whoever Trump nominates this time around.

Top should be a K-90, a fun looking little tank.
Yep.

This was meant to be a trick question as it is the first iteration of the IT-1. It actually predates the T-62 so they initially envisioned it on the 140 hull.

I believe the top is the air filtration system the bottom is the engine cooling system.

Baka; here's a quick overview of the technology successfully built into the SU-122-54 -
Yeah but that's mostly because of the timing of the SU-122-54 more than anything. Omsk didn't trail blaze on anything mentioned. The IS-7 has everything you mentioned and more and that came in 1947.
10 hours ago, Jim Warford said:many of the identified issues/problems associated with previous Soviet assault guns and 122mm-armed tanks were solved:
They didn't which is why only 77 were made. The problem is that a 122mm spg is fundamentally nonsensical after 1944.
Come on, the SU-100P is more relevant to Soviet tank technology development than the SU-122-54.

Object 268 would receive planned autoloader mid life retrofit .
Both A.G. Karpenko and Baryatinsky say that the Object 268 already had a tray type auto-loader which is why they were able to get away with a four man crew.
2 hours ago, That_Baka said:And from technical standpoint post-war dead end self-propelled guns Object 268,261 and 263 is much more interesting
Object 261 is really fucking obscure. What many people don't realize is that it actually three different designs and the wooden model that is everywhere on the internet isn't actually the Object 261:
QuoteDuring work on perfecting the IS-7 design in 1947, OGK LKZ and Experimental Factory #100 developed projects for high power heavy SPGs.
Object 261-1, closed type, with a forward fighting compartment and a 152 mm M-31 gun with a 880 m/s muzzle velocity (later re-designated Object 261)
Object 261-2, half-open type, rear fighting compartment, 152 mm M-48 gun with 1000 m/s muzzle velocity (later re-designated Object 262)
Object 261-3, half-open type, rear fighting compartment, with a 180 mm naval MU-1 gun with a muzzle velocity of 920 m/s.
Object 263 is even more obscure. The only person who has written at length on the Object 263 is A.G. Karpenko who says that the Object 263 uses parts from both the IS-8 and IS-7.
