Was it really extinguished, or did it just burn through all the fuel?

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.

Happy hunting!

Aha, they detained her on Danube en-route from Moldova. Here I was thinking Ukraine completely reversed the situation and was blockading Sevastopol. Good work nevertheless.

You are discussing on a platform created by a man who praises people like Lenin & Castro. Richard Stallman resigned over some comments on Epstein victims. Free software is like that sometimes.

Yes, but there USA were fighting the locals. Here it's moskals who is fighting the locals.

And funny you bring up Afghanistan, USSR went down also because of invading it.

Moskals can't afford to wage the war for three more years.

Less than how many would die by the rampaging horde if Ukraine gave up. Judging by what happend in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol or elsewhere.

Not really, Soviets took over Poland for 40 years just like the rest of CEE.
