    Officially in 1960 when Khurschev unilaterally canceled the heavy tank program however, the army fought on for about 5 more years.

    They're Hungarian legitimists and seek to place a Hapsburg on the throne of Hungary.

    OK, by now you may have seen news announcing that Xi Jinping has removed the term limits on the Chinese presidency and how this now makes him a strongman who will oppress the gays and Tibetians, blah blah blah.

    I didn't sit through a bunch of boring-ass lectures on the role of yellow journalism in the Spanish-American War so I could fall for the exact same shit one hundred and twenty years later.  This is sensationalism, pure and simple.
     
    The actual event has long since occurred.  The title of the presidency in China is largely ceremonial.  Deng Xaioping (PBUH) never held the official title of President or Premier or even Party Secretary, but everyone knew that he was the motherfucker what's in charge.
     
    QED, if Xi Jinping is changing the constitution now, it's because he has already consolidated his power.  Do you seriously think he'd reveal his master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of anyone affecting its outcome? He did it years ago.  Behind closed doors.

    Probably just what they have. The engine design bureau at Kharkov decamped for Chelyabinsk in 1941 and never returned. Most of the brain power behind engines was at either Leningrad or Chelyabinsk. Omsk and Stalin/Volgograd also had good teams for light tank engines. I think it is highly telling Kharkov didn't have an attached engine bureaus like the other factories did and did every thing in house. 
     
    Also Uralmash did some cool stuff like the 16 cylinder engine in the Object 279. 
     
    Edit: According to DAV Kharkov only did two noteworthy engine designs in the 45-65 period: 5TD and the 5TDF.

    America historically has had a very negative view towards to monarchies to the point that for over a century it was commonly said in America that the US was the only free, democratic society in the world.

    I've read that since the Jagdpanther used the final drive from the Panther II the problems with them were fixed. I may be misremembering so feel free to correct me.

    Since the Jagdpanther fixed the final drive issues of the Panther is it still a bad tank?
