October 17th, 1990 - CASS

In the late evening of October 16th, early warning systems detected multiple launches across Europe and North America. Attempts were made by supreme leader Konstantin Vladislavich to contact NATO heads of state in case of a fluke in the systems to avoid another Able Archer 83 incident. These attempts fell on deaf ears.

At 12 AM Moscow time, the order was given to respond in kind to the attack against the Soviet Union. Across the vast lands of the Soviet Union, the long dormant roar of the bear shook the air for the last time.

You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world while I fell asleep.

For once Covert Cabal goes over Ukraine’s remaining tanks in storage, but only using publicly available imagery. No tasking satellites for up to date imagery because that would be a “problem”, unlike when he buys a bunch on Russian bases. But based on the count he got in the open, they only have 222 tank hulls left in storage.

I think Russia just needs to send a few drones over to strike the storage bases, limit the parts that they have to repair Soviet equipment.

CHERNOGORSK, April 30th - RN Zelkov. The South Zagorian People's Republic forces have been making gains towards Kirovograd. In the past week forces have taken the some of the settlements on the left bank of the Burnaya river, thus ensuring the Chernarussian forces will be stalled in their advances.

Russian Minister of Defense, Vasily Gromov, has stated that Russian forces are nearing the completion of all operational goals, including securing most of the left bank of the Burnaya. He said that Russia is expected to use this control as a bargaining chip in possible negotiations that may take place in Baku in the coming weeks with the Chernarussian delegation. Other members of the government are against any negotiations taking place with the backdrop of the terror attacks around the Novigrad Oblast leading many to fear an attack on the talks.

On the ground, the SZPR has begun fielding the new T-62MV-2. While still utilizing Kontakt-1 on most of the tank, it features Kontakt-5 and optional 4S24 soft case armor. Further iterations of the MV are said to include a thermal sight to increase it's effectiveness against western tanks on the Chernarussian battlefield.

EDIT: Also in picture 2 you can see a BMPT getting sent to space with its crew to avoid it being considered too realistic or AI slop.
