After some regrouping has been done to strengthen the defense and thanks to the production of the new mechs, Fazastan, under the administration of Albert Cal, initiates "Operation Zaviryukha"—to which the Fazastani army takes advantage of their knowledge of the landscape and surprise attack the Communist infantry either by distracting them with false mannequins or by using smoke bombs to throw them off-guard. Operation Zaviryukha has become a success so far, and Fazastani intelligence says that the upcoming wave of tanks, fighter jets, mechs, and PM-032 drones will come to their assistance in order to further strengthen their multi-front defense. Additionally, artillery and missile systems will soon come to the battlefield to strike key areas in hopes of weakening the PCA's occupation of territory and to cripple the Communist pact in the long run. Meanwhile, to bring even more good news to Fazastan, a decline of morale and logistics amongst the Fazkenian army has resulted in the coalition to push even closer to the Fazkenian capital. However, the only setback this brings is Yuri's threats of nuclear warfare becoming more and more serious as the coalition takes their steps closer, mongering more fear to the world of Yovenia. "It seems that we have struck a weakness that the PCA may have—logistics! Sure, we're currently struggling a bit with an alliance full of Communist regimes that are willing to weaponize propaganda on everything, but according to our intelligence, their supplies are currently running low on a scale that might only speed up should they pull out more tricks up their sleeve. In fact, the PCA combined is running low on supplies almost twice as fast as we are, and that difference would only increase should they pull out more of their big guns! So while we, being an economic powerhouse that spends roughly 6% of our GDP on defense (approx. $1 trillion spent), have little problem with our supplies, the Communists on the other hand, bent on a government-controlled economy that spends about 12-15% on their GDP (combined expense of $355 billion), will lose ground in the long run! In other words, it may be a tough conflict, but we will come out victorious in the end!" — Albert Cal
