    Chinese IS-3/JS-3, was it real?

    Afternoon all, I'm currently doing some research and have seen a few documents refer that China, after the end of the Second World War, received a small number of IS-3's from the USSR/Russia. Considering the fact I have never seen an image of this, I assume it was very limited (if at all) for...
