In accordance with the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, the Hungarians were allowed to have their own forces for homeland defence adjunct to and integrated with the standing Imperial and Royal Army. The Honvédség became a specifically Hungarian Army within the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The invasion successfully stopped the liberalization reforms and strengthened the authority of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. The foreign policy of the Soviet Union during this era was known as the Brezhnev Doctrine. Leonid Brezhnev and the leadership of the Warsaw Pact countries were scared by Alexander DubÄek's reforms centering on the reduction of the importance of the Communist Party (KSÄ), later termed the "Prague Spring", were weakening the influence and position of the Communist Bloc. The Soviet leadership at first tried to stop or limit the impact of DubÄek's initiatives through a series of negotiations. Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union agreed to bilateral talks to be held in July 1968 at Äierna nad Tisou, near the Slovak-Soviet border. At the meeting, DubÄek defended the program of the reformist wing of the KSÄ while pledging commitment to the Warsaw Pact and Comecon.

It was popularly nicknamed "balalaika", from the aircraft's planform-view resemblance to the Russian stringed musical instrument or oÅówek (English: pencil) by Polish pilots due to the shape of its fuselage. Early versions are considered second-generation jet fighters, while later versions are considered to be third-generation jet fighters. Some 50 countries over four continents have flown the MiG-21, and it still serves many nations a half-century after its maiden flight. The fighter made aviation records. At least by name, it is the most-produced supersonic jet aircraft in aviation history and the most-produced combat aircraft since the Korean War, and it had the longest production run of a combat aircraft (1959 to 1985 over all variants). coordinates: 52.17673617386434 6.702513098716736 source: www.wikipedia.org www.kleisman.com _
